In mid-September our dear friends John and Jessie Depasquale came for a visit. They had never seen Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's gem located just a half hour drive away. So off we went, cameras in hand.
Even hidden in the woods, the first view is quite spectacular.
The view from the bridge.
There wasn't much water falling, ......
so we went to nearby Ohiopyle to see some really falling water at the falls of the Yough River. It was because of these falls that George Washington abandoned this potential route to Fort Duquesne when he was scouting for the British.
Ohiopyle is also along the Great Allegheny Passage (see above, or is it below?) rails to trails path from Cumberland, MD to Pittsburgh. Here we are posing on the High Bridge just downstream from Ohiopyle.
It was a great day, indeed! We are so lucky to have old friends such as the Depasquales.
