Little Cabin in the Woods

You have to make time to get away every once in a while.

We go to the Lone Pine at least once a summer for a weekend every year, and it’s a good opportunity to get the camera out.

Typically a cabin trip consists of a wild party on Saturday evening, and a refreshing dip in Blue Hole on the following morning. We did all of that, but since we had nothing but big pickup trucks with us, we did a little exploring through Forbes State Forest afterwards. We explored a few waterfalls and back roads.
