October birthday walk
Cynthia, my oldest daughter, and I took a day trip down to Matthiessen State Park for our October birthdays. The weather was perfect, and the colors were just starting to turn, so we enjoyed some yellow and just the hints of red that were just beginning. In the fall it’s very unusual for there to be much water flowing, but when we walked north, toward Matthiessen Lake, there was some water flowing near the Giant’s Bathtub and then a small amount off of the Lake Falls.
