Bushkill Falls is located in Pennsylvania, ever since I was in my early teens I've been going back to this place of beauty. When I was 15 years old I went on my first camping trip there with three of my friends. We actually met some girls our own age there, which was incredible, especially because we were miles deep into the woods. I carved my initials and the girl who I kissed in a tree. 40 years later I went back there and the tree with our initials was still standing. I wrote a poem about it called "Marlene" My favorite place in the whole world.
My favorite get-away throughout my life
Deep in the forest is a raging river
With my fishing pole, some hooks, and pocket knife
I catch rainbow trout and fill up my quiver
All alone, no children, not even my wife
My lovely secret hide out, none knew whither
Eight miles of long and winding paths I travel
To this place where I let my thoughts unravel
