Appalacian PA

Bake Oven Knob is the highest point in Lehigh County, on the Pennsylvania portion of the Appalacian Trail. I had been here once before, as a very cranky 13 year-old, hiking with my dad, sister, and brother.  It's much prettier to look at when you are not angry at the world, and you get to go home to go potty.  This trip was with my sister and parents (Mom tends to be camera-shy, but she was there too!), and was just a simple day hike, with some lunch on the mountain.  

It was an overcast day, but still nice enough to see the leaves, which were gorgeous.  I'm glad I had the opportunity to witness this sight before Hurricane Sandy reaches the East Coast, and all the leaves are gone.
