Alan...this sounds fabulous!! I love the concept and all you've done with it. Can you show us pictures?? I'd love to see it. Yes, where is this park? Thanks for telling us all about it. I have wildflower asters that were given to me many years ago. They came origanally from New York. I was told they are probably New England wildflower asters. I really don't know if there's a big difference between wild "ditch" asters and New England Asters...anyway - you would be welcome to have some of mine for your garden, if you like. Just let me know. ...Beverly

Parker Dam is half an hour below St. Mary's, about fifteen minutes above Clearfield, right off I-80. We are headed back there end of this month to see the baby elk. Never even heard of the Ice Mine at Coudersport, but nearby is an old lumber camp which is worth a visit, near Galeton. http://www.lumbermuseum.org/ It has original equipment and one original building, I belive, and you can really learn how the loggers guys lived. I highly recommend a visit. Yes, very familiar with the Kinzua Bridge. The year it fell down, two weeks before we were headed to see it on the way to Erie where my daughter lives, she called me and said, "Uh, Mom, I have some bad news for you...." Actually, the locals say it's had more traffic since the tornado knocked it down! We did go see the wreckage, it's worth the trip. Here is a link that might be useful: Pa Lumber Museum

That would be awesome to see...It's kind of hard to see clearly so I'm looking it up in our birdbook... Last year, at Beaver Creek State Park, my son and I saw an eagle and got shots of it but it was hard to get a nice sharp one, even with the camera zoomed all the way...I could of just cried...We watched it for at least 30 minutes. In the meanwhile he attracted an audience of about 7 people...He was just so majestic and graceful. He didn't stay in one spot. Went to a nearby tree, sat for a while, then flew across the creek...It was just so cool! juanital

Tongue-tied...just look at that color...not to mention the reminescense...I'm hoping to go to a car show this weekend...won't be nearly as nice as the outdoor setting as yours...Great shot! Juanita
