-Fox Run Rd
-Buttermilk Falls Rd
-Hamburg (do they eat a lot of hamburgers there?)
-Hecktown (do they say "What the heck" a lot?)
And when we were driving, our conversation went like this:
- Oh, Dairy rd. Do you guys know what "dairy" is?
Brandon:
- yes, it is milk, butter, whip cream... (I would never thought of the last one :)
We were passing the car. Brandon:
- Oh, this car is driven by old, old grandma.
Me:
- Well, old grandma have to drive too, right? Like your Nans.
Brandon:
- Well, she is a grandma, but she is not old, old one. Just an old grandma! :)
Seriously? Some stuff is pretty cool! I found it on the map that I got at Bushkills.
- Park was open to public in 1904 and admission was $0.10.
- There are 8 waterfalls and 2.5miles of hiking trails.
- The drop of the Main Waterfall is about 100 feet.
- The entire park is about 300 acres.
- The water (especially in Little Bushkill Creek) often looks brown and foamy. People think it indicate pollution, but that is not the case. This is a natural effect caused by tannin and its' derivative, tannic acid. These compounds are a natural product of oak, hemlock, white pine and other trees. They are dissolved into the stream as the water flows over the roots. The foam is caused by the great turbulence of the stream passing waterfalls, rocks, ledges etc.
- Bushkill Falls does not receive any state of federal funding. Trail improvements and repairs and maintenance are made possible with admission fees.
I was surprised, how many benches there are on the trail. In Russia you would never see it :)
Those are our stones. On the ride home Brandon realized that he had two green rocks so he wanted to trade it. Kyra did not have anything she wanted to trade, so I told him I would when we get home and I would see what I have. I traded his green (top left) for blue that I had couple of. (bottom middle blue kind of stone).
P.S. What he told me was that he would never trade the one I gave him. LOVE HIM TO PIECES!
