Allegany pics

the brownie gang had gone hiking last week to the Allegany National Park.. it was a bit early in the season, so it was nice and quiet, and we had a really good time! here's me near the lake, doing my frat-boy impersonation.. it was a brilliantly clear day, a mite chilly though

we started of in the lighter forest, but climbed to the evergreen forest.. quite a change from the stark and barren trees to then see the green again. there is hardly any wildlife left in the Allegany region now unfortunately.
