RED HATS AND RAINSTORMS

The Kinzua Kuties (formerly our Red Hat group) crossed the border into New York state to go to our local state park..Allegany State Park for lunch. It was held upstairs in the administration building. We were able to order off the menu and enjoyed the company and food. Just as we were leaving it got very, very dark and started to rain hard. The rangers asked us not to go out to our cars since it was pouring hard and driving would not be advisable. We spent some time in the gift store waiting for it to slow down. When we were able we donned our umbrellas and hurried out to the car. We started out in one direction but quickly learned that a tree was blocking the road so we turned around and went the other direction. There was also a tree down across the road there too but there was a bike path that we could drive on to avoid that road.

We made it  home safe and sound but not before having to avoid a huge tree which fell across the main road leading out of the park. It was good to see the rain, but not the destruction it caused.
