Time to lighten this thread up.
Just got back from my little get away. We stayed at the Bedford Springs Resort http://www.bedfordspringsresort.com/default_.asp
Amazing place! 5 star resort. Highly recommend! If you're ever in southern PA or even want to get away, this place is worth a visit. Warning, I dropped as much on the room for the night as I did on all the Sanitred products
Including all the "extras", it was about 3 times as much! Well worth every penny. SO bring your check book.
I realized that the spot we were going to go fishing would be crowded because of the weekend, so we drove to our "secret" spot. This stream is about a mile and a half walk from the nearest road and has 4 miles of fly fishing only. The walk alone deters most from fishing it, and it can be a challenging stream to fish. I call it my home stream, since it's only about 45 min from my house. We were lucky, and we had the entire 4 miles to ourselves!
Enough talk.
view from the balcony
the indoor pool. Mostly original subway tile.
The entry lobby. The first trans-Atlantic telegram was sent from Queen Victoria to President James Buchanan who received it right under those stairs on August 16th 1958.
My wife took this pic this morning.
FISHING>
I love this place!
Beautiful morning on the stream.
ah. the first relevant thing to this site. Sorta kinda. I ended up landing 12, and I don't know how many hook ups from 7:30am to 1:00. I would have taken more fish pics, but it's hard landing a fiesty trout on a 3 weight rod with 7x tippet, then fumbling a blackberry to get a picture. Really didn't want to drop my phone in the drink, so I kept the clumbsy photo ops to a minimum. I gotta suck it up and buy a good camera!
the cascades. The stream is low since it's the end of summer, but people actually white water raft this river in the spring and fall. That's also the best time to fish.
These are just two views from the scenic look outs above where we were fishing. The river snakes through the lowest cut there. If you look, you can make it out. I love southwestern PA!
