Poconos

New Jersey
I originally started out for Blairstown New Jersey to see Camp Crystal Lake, but took a detour to the Poconos because well it's the Poconos and it's famous.  I ended up going to Bushkill Falls.  I went out of my way because I passed the entrance to the park.

The Niagara of Pennsylvania

Bushkill Falls is known as The Niagara of Pennsylvania or what everyone else calls a waterfall.

Uprooted tree

I was originally going to go on the green trail which you see one waterfall and takes about fifteen minutes, but after paying $12.50 for entry I decided to go on the red trail which is suppose to be for avid hikers.  I am now an avid hiker because of $12.50.
  
Waterfall
The walk lasted me about an hour and a half and I nearly died.  


More waterfall

Not sure if this is called Eden Tree or Den Tree
After I left I drove to Blairstown, again driving out of my way because those street signs don't make any sense.  I finally found Camp Crystal Lake where Friday the 13th was filmed.  Camp Crystal Lake is actually a Boy Scouts of America camp called Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco.  So when I rolled up there were about 20 Boys Scouts standing around.  I asked the boys where the sign was and they said it was inside on private property and I couldn't go in, the Boy Scout leader said the same thing.  So I didn't get to see the sign that I drove there for and got lost for a half and hour for, but one of the Boy Scouts asked me "spreken ze deutsch" so there's that.
