Over Labor Day weekend, Mike and I went to the Delaware Water Gap.

The park, part of the National Parks System, spans over New Jersey and Pennsylvania (and maybe New York?). It's big, and also confusing; it was hard to figure out where we wanted to go and how to get there. As the designated navigator, I have to admit that I got us lost twice. In the interests of full disclosure, I will further admit that one of those times, Mike figured out the right way to go, and I didn't believe him.

We went to the three "scenic overlooks" in the south of the park, which were supposed to offer the best views of the river and the gap. I was a little disappointed, since I didn't find them very scenic. I took pictures, but they didn't come out well.

Then we got lost trying to go to Bushkill Falls, and ended up on the New Jersey side. We went hiking on a little waterfall trail, since I prefer my hiking with waterfalls.

In case you don't know, American Express is allowing its cardmembers to cash in those stupid membership rewards points and give the money to Hurricane Katrina relief. They are matching the money donated, as well, and you can choose from a list of charities which one you would like to donate to. I cashed in all of mine, since I never use them; I'm glad there's finally something worthwhile to use them for.
