Here were a couple water falls in Walpack Township. Had to go out just before a big storm to get pics of them frozen. Can't find the pics Buttermilk falls and Silver Spray falls.I took a couple summers ago.

Only the fall pic is from the same area I posted before. The others are from other trails around here... except the snow one. That was in my back yard.

Swallow Falls, Muddy Creek Falls (highest waterfall in Maryland), the Lower Falls and Tolliver Falls can all be found in Swallow Falls State Park, located in Garrett County (the furthest county to the west).  These are also about a half hour from my home.  Swallow Falls and the Lower Falls are all part of the Youghigheny River, while Muddy Creek and Tolliver both feed into the Yough.

OK, so @bossdog421’s photos of his neck of NJ, and the reactions it’s gotten, have me wanting to start a thread about how gorgeous NJ really is, even the more suburban parts close to NYC. Here’s a photo I took just a couple days ago from a park not 5 minutes drive from my home in northeastern NJ.

 
Yeah, the big radio antenna breaks up the beauty a bit, but we’re far from “the garbage pit of America” or “the armpit of America” that many stereotype us as. We’re “The Garden State”, and while that name may refer mostly to the farmland further south, there’s a lot of natural beauty here.
C’mon NJ peeps, show us the pretty views from your own neck o’ the woods!
And if you’re not from NJ (hey, nobody’s perfect ?), but you’re own state gets bashed as ugly or boring or whatever, put some pics of your own that can show us what we’re missing.
If we can’t appreciate the views from a cruise ship in exotic foreign (or Alaskan) ports, let’s get some appreciation for what’s in our own proverbial and literal back yards.

I got another great pic last night of the skyline. I went on a fathers day ride on the quads with the guys.

Double digit day! 99 days to go. Feeling good and worried about the date at the same time. A random post from someone in the FB group saying they called the port and said they will be good to go out of jersey in August gave me a bit of confidence. But still... the world has gone mad, and all that grouping together is likely to drum up more cases. We are on the cusp of reopening and don't think anyone is going to be willing to shut down again. 
 
I've always been a gambling man. My bet is still on things will go!!!
 
Diet update down about 14 pound overall. Had a pretty big plateau for about a week that I finally got passed. Another 16 or so to go.
 
Beautiful day in Jesery. Got out for a hike with the family.

Tips to go faster in a waterslide:
 
Try to have as little of your body actually touching the slide as possible. Cross your ankles, cross your arms, lift your butt completely off the slide with all your weight on the heels of your feet and your shoulders. Try to keep your legs, butt, back and head off the slide as much as possible. The less body touching the slide the faster you go.
 
That's how you get 3 plus spins around the toilet bowl... i mean champagne bowl... on the  Supercell slide.
 
EDIT: Since this is a topic about the Abyss. I want to add to NOT do this on the abyss.

So looks like up to 9/15/20 is being canceled. Still going to ride it out. I mean i got 5 whole days past the new cancel date. If she still sails that means I would be on the first on Oasis out of NJ once things resume. I have no issues being the test subject for new policies.
 
Not looking great but worst case they cancel and I refund and do something else. I have some ideas but I'd rather be cruising.
 
*Rubs lamp* Come on Genie give me some magic.
