Most of arrived at Tohickon Valley Park on Friday. I got there around 5 PM and took a campsite (#1). Eight others stayed in cabin #4.
Ken, Lana and Margaret went hiking on Friday afternoon and passed my campsite. They hiked along the trail next to Tohickon Creek, which is the only sizeable trail in the park.
On Saturday and Sunday, there was a water release and Tohickon Creek turned into a raging river filled with rapids. Many kayakers took advantage of the water release to play in the waves. Our cabin overlooked the creek and gave us great views of the water and the kayakers.
On Saturday night, I visited the cabin and then took some people back to my campsite to enjoy a raging campfire. The sky clouded up, hiding the moon, and a light rain started just after 1 AM.
The rain continued through Sunday morning (but the coals from Saturday night’s campfire were still hot). I packed up my tent and drove to the cabin to make breakfast with my friends. We cleaned out the cabin and left by mid-afternoon.
