It was pouring down rain when we did visit this lighthouse in Tionesta, Pennsylvania ...it is called the Sherman Memorial Lighthouse. if you would like to visit: 5 Lighthouse Island, Tionesta, PA, 16353. we didn't even get out of the truck to take a picture, it was not open that day, if i can recalling correctly it was a Sunday that we did happen to be in that area of PA??! i am always amazed of how many lighthouses we do find that are not even close to water??! or they are close to water but not on it or in it?? aren't there some kind of regulation about that or something??! lol!! i guess most lighthouses these days are just pretty and for looks not really for finding ship, or showing the shoreline and all that jazz like the use to back in the day. check this beauty out in Lake Minatare State Park, Nebraska ??! such a great state park, if you are ever out that way? enjoy! have a great day. i appreciate your comments. see ya again real soon.

If I was making up a story or dreaming about a church, this would be very similar to the one I would create or write about, it is just so cute, I wonder what it looks like inside??! St. John's Episcopal Church, New York, I am unsure of the city??! I did try to google it, but no luck? ...a trip we took gosh way about near my birthday May 23 ish, 2018 we saw this beauty. I got a few shots from my truck seat. So pretty, I love springy moment. Enjoy! I would have never guessed that St. John would be such a popular name, but apparently in New York is a very popular church name??!  UPDATE: since writing this post I've gotten more info: 110 Chestnut St. Youngstown, NY. 14174, Gothic Revival architecture, " St. John's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Youngstown in Niagara County, New York. It is a Gothic Revival style board and batten frame church constructed in 1878. "   have a great day. i appreciate your comments. se

Clear Creek State Park, PA

Clear Creek State Park, Sigel, Pennsylvania. 38 Clear Creek Rd, Sigel PA. 15860, (814)752-2368, what i really did enjoy about this state park was the ease that it took to walk around... some state parks are just not laid out well. you have to take a truck or bike to get around. this state park was great for walking, biking or hiking... a chance to watch birds or critters, folks fishing, and so easy to go from your campsite to take a look around all their antiques, old building and just enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors. enjoy! have a great day. i appreciate your comments. see ya again real soon.
