Adam and I wound up at Beltzville State Park by something of an accident. We meant to go hike somewhere else entirely, but got lost and wound up here. Although not where we meant to go, it did serve as a healthy dose of nature complete with spectacular views and a perfect sky. It was my first visit to the Pocono's outside of the car. We walked along the water's edge, skipping rocks and observing the ducks. Canoes had the perfect day for peace out at water. We tried to get our own, but unfortunately the boat rental appeared closed. Nonetheless, a great Sunday it was.
On Saturday, Adam and I visited the mysterious Ringing Rocks in Bucks County, PA. A strange and beautiful phenomenon found right in the middle of nature, the field of sonorous boulders create different pitches when struck with a hammer. You can tap around and make varying tunes, but scientists have yet to find out exactly why the rocks ring. According the VisitPhilly.com they have looked for reasons, such as high background radiation, abnormal magnetic fields, or strange electromagnetic activity, but haven't found any explanations. There are other fields around the world, in places such as Montana and Western Australia, where the abnormality has mysteriously occurred. Perhaps we'll just have to be content enjoying their music without a scientific explanation as to why.
