I arrived late on Friday afternoon, set up camp, built a campfire and made dinner. I then took a short hike to the cabin to visit my friends. Sleeping outdoors that night was challenging--the lows were in the mid-20s.
On Saturday, water was released from Lake Nockamixon upstream turning the lazy Tohickon Creek into a whitewater adventure. Throughout the weekend, kayakers rode the currents in the river.
We went hiking on the ridge overlooking the creek until we came to a road. We took the road a short distance and crossed a bridge over Tohickon Creek into another park. There we ate lunch and headed back.
On Saturday night, most of us went to Lambertsville for dinner. On Sunday, we drove across the Delaware River and north to Bull’s Island State Park in New Jersey. Four of us hiked in Bull’s Island and marveled at the devastation caused by the flooding of 2005. Then we all headed home.
