Not Rayellen's Favorite!

 So the big stop of Day 2 was Kinzua Skywalk .  The building pays homage to the viaduct. A good view of the Skywalk: It was covered in snow! Finally getting to the end: And then I cleared off the snow -- or at least enough of it to get a really cool view. (NOT Rayellen's favorite place to visit. It's okay -- there'll be someplace fun for her!) Standing on the glass. How cool! (Don't worry, Raya! There's comfy benches for you while the non-acrophobics go out and taunt gravity) Close your eyes, Raya -- Granny is about to peek over the edge! Check out the debris field. That tornado did a number on the bridge. And straight down into the debris field: Turning around to go back, let's get a better look at that glass floor: Selfie at the top: Peering down between the railroad ties: I even walked on the ties for a while, but decided not to overdo it lest I slip in the snow and hurt myself. Looking down between the ties: Look at how cool the snow looks on the wood g

The Next Morning's Drive

 Today's post isn't a huge adventure; it's just the drive to Kinzua Skywalk . I got to the campsite after dark so I just pitched the tent rather than wrestle with the hammock and tarps in the cold dark. It was dark and first-come-first serve so I just plunked myself at the first available site. I think it was this one . Look at the snow! That's what I was camping in the night before.  I stopped at this weird historical site . It was some sort of power plant. I didn't go inside; I just gawked at the outside. The barrel looked pretty cool. Close to Kinzua State Park was a railroad crossing where people have to be told to LOOK and not just drive in front of a train. Next post will be Kinzua Skywalk!
