Today was Black Friday and as per usual I did not participate in any sort of shopping madness, but instead headed for the outdoors. Yesterday, Thanksgiving Day, began a four day weekend for me, and I was looking forward to taking advantage of the time off. This morning I started my day with a hike around Jacobsburg State Park. There weren’t many cars in the lot when I arrived which surprised me being it was the day after a holiday, but it was still very early. I grabbed the camera and headed into the old growth forest of Henry’s Woods and followed along Bushkill Creek. From here I looped around up through the meadow just outside the perimeter of the no hunting zone. It was the first day of rifle season, and I didn’t want to take any chances venturing off alone into the hunting areas. It was a beautiful, crisp morning and a perfect day to #optoutside. I’ve never really been big on shopping anyway, unless of course it’s REI.
