| The Annual Sullivan County Fall Festival in Forksville, Pa., was a victim of late summer/early fall floods, and the annual event that was scheduled for this weekend was cancelled. The festival usually attracts thousands of people because of the area's spectacular fall color (therefore, the Flaming Foliage Festival the weekend before), an art show, lumberjack competitions, kids activities. The You Tube video above shows the roaring waters from Hurricane Irene near Forksville and the town's covered bridge. The photo above shows nearby Ricketts Glen State Park, still my favorite for color and a day's exercise, hiking up and down the glen. | This from the website--"Take the Falls Trail and explore the Glens, which boasts a series of wild, free-flowing waterfalls, each cascading through rock-strewn clefts in this ancient hillside. The 94-foot Ganoga Falls is the highest of 22 named waterfalls." | The falls trail was closed for a period because of flooding, but is now open. Snow usually happens early on the Ricketts Glen mountain, making for a beautiful contrast of color and pure white snow. |
