For this big chunk of limestone, it's a whole different world down there in the surf.
I'm sure they all still keep in touch though.

The Nature Conservancy hosts a group of roughly 30 visitors for a vernal pool hike at Forest Pools Preserve, adjacent to Kings Gap State Park in Cumberland County, Pa., on March 25, 2016. Because vernal pools, or seasonal wetlands, dry up every year, they don't harbor fish and thus are critical habitat for many amphibian species. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Dedication marker, Thomas Darling Preserve, Monroe County.
The 2500-acre Nature Conservancy preserve protects the glacial wetlands and dense forests at the headwaters of Twomile Run, a tributary of Tobyhanna Creek. A blue-blazed loop-trail system, made up of boardwalks and footpaths, traverses the site.
Rowena pond creates a summertime oasis as it retains water through the arid summer.
The dry plateau on Rowena Crest is east of the Cascade Mountain ridgeline and approachs the high plains desert. In the summer, the ground is dry and the grass is parched except near depressions in the basalt where water collected in the winter and lasts trhough the summer. Small circular wetlands survive the summer as oases for wildlife.
In this cloudy afternoon October image, the oaks are changing colors.

At this point, we'd walked an hour and a half, and beyond this spot, the car was an easy 15 to 20 minute walk. The water seemed about thigh-high to me. Suzie didn't want to take her pants off to wade through it (I promised no photos!), but it was possible at 5'6" that she'd get her undies wet. Should have expected it with the water levels we'd seen along the trail before this, but I thought there'd be a high ridge we could use to get around. Disappointed and tired, we turned back.
(At the time, it never occurred to me to offer to carry her across - fireman style. She'd absolutely refuse she says now. But I want to push and see what it takes to make me sick, even though she's only 110 lbs, that would certainly have been pushing it.)
No problems with vertigo or dizziness, except a little rough spot as we reached the car, and the buzzing in ears ratcheting up in intensity.
(Listening to iTunes now with headphones on, that seems to help. Gonna get some photo stuff done.)
Low down view along the base of the rock formations. The waves break over the tide pools, pockets, and submerged rocks farther out during low tide.

A young couple walk under the coquina rocks that give Blowing Rocks its name. At high tide in certain conditions, waves crash against the rocks and blow straight up in the air.

Time after time, year after year, the "Gator" never does seem to make it into the water no matter how long it's been diving in.

Red Walking Trail in the Beech Wildlife Reserve (official itinerary for hiking). Marked trails around Sierakow create a whole system of trails. The red trail shown in the photo leads from the south end of Lake Lutomskie to the entrance at the other end of the reserve near a caravan site beside the lake. The beech reserve ‘Buczyna Lutomska’ adjoins the western shore of the lake. Thanks to the excellent growing conditions a number of trees are aged 300.
