Oct 9, 2010

Though not the original destination planned, Heather and I ended up going to Dingman's Falls. We stopped at Bushkill but decided to not pay to hike around and continued down the road.

The first set of falls was pretty close so we walked down to it. It was a really nice little area with a lot of people standing to look. The waterfall was peaceful though.

We went up the road to another set of falls, where we walk around for a while. We walked up the stream a bit and I almost fell in trying to take pictures. It's okay though, I didn't. The whole stream area was really nice.

Can you see the frog? While walking up a path to an overlook, this guy surprised me and jumped out onto the path and then right onto my boot!

The overlook was nice. It's called the Tri-State Overlook and I'm assuming you can see New York on clear days. The view was pretty good though, overlooking the Delaware River and New Jersey.

The next trail was the first thing close to a real hiking trail we had been on all day. It crossed over a few roads and had some detours around fallen trees.

This lake was probably the nicest sight of the day. The reflections were great as the trees are just starting to change color.

The rest of the trail got a little more fun and steep in some places but never anything very challenging. It also ended much sooner than I expected since it was supposed to be a 3-mile trail with an overlook and waterfall, neither of which did we see. Oh well. It was getting dark anyway so we headed out.

Chuck came to Rowan After Hours for the comedy show. The opener was pretty funny and Chuck had given him directions to the student center.

Ben Bailey (the guy from Cash Cab...) was the main event. He was funny as well. In an awkward way most of the time. About half of his set revolved around being "the Cash Cab guy" and references to the show. He made me laugh though. We got mac and cheese from the food bar after the show and then headed to the party.

We got to Alex's, where we were immediately prompted with the question "What are you guys supposed to be?" We were at a loss until we were informed that it was an "S Party" which meant we were supposed to dress as something starting with "s." I did not get the memo. Anyway, throughout the night I was "sober" or a "significant other" with Chuck. So there.

Alex was a "spy," NOT "Smith, Will" from Men In Black as you might have first thought. Look at that Noisy Cricket though.. I'm still not sure.

After the standing around and drinking part of the night had us down to about eight people in the house we decided to play Kings or Circle of Death depending on who you asked. In any case, it was fun once I learned all the rules. Drinking games are generally all the same. I never know if someone is winning or losing because they have to drink.

We hung around talking for a while after the game ended and called it a night around 4am.
