Weekend at Ohiopyle and Harrisburg


Sumit, Dipak and Vaarun were the 3 musketeers on this occasion. It turned out to be a fun trip to Harrisburg, which is about 200 miles east of Pittsburgh. Seven hours of driving takes its toll on some, but we had a good time listening to music and pulling each other's leg. Harrisburg is a beautiful city with a nice wide river flowing through it. In particular, there was one spot from where we could see an old stone rail bridge crossing the river. We had a nice photo session there.
The next day was an even bigger blast, We headed to the Ohiopyle State Park. This is a scenic and quiet forest, where people had settled in during the industrial revolution. The quaint old houses were very charming, and this time, there was a waterfall at the heart of the settlement.. very nice! Anyway, the highest point in the trip came when Sumit got Indian Ocean's "Kandisa" out of his treasure trove. I had not listened to that for years, and boy.. that music just rocks! For more than a week now, Ive been listening to the one and only Kandisa!
