Day Zero (Monday)
Forecast: Rain and snow this morning transitioning to light rain late in the day. Cold. High 42F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 80%.Given this forecast and considering that discretion is the better part of valor, Lynn and Barry opted to take advantage of our swing day and save the trail for tomorrow, visiting Fallingwater instead.
Surely everyone knows that Fallingwater is Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous architectural design. It is about 45 minutes from 7 Springs and since it was too cold and wet to do anything else, we spent a delightful afternoon tramping around the fieldstone floors of Fallingwater. Lynn and Bill had never been there before and Maureen and Barry were very patient in exploring the lovely but weird house that was built for Pittsburgh's Kauffman family. A nice couple offered to take a picture of Lynn and Bill at the "view" from the woods.We ended the evening with a delicious dinner (Bill had antelope!) at 7 Springs and trying to figure out this blog. The trip starts tomorrow!

Lynn--
I'm impressed with your link to the Fallingwater website! MB and I visited the famous FLW site long ago when I was a kid just about to enter the junior high school for the first time the next day. I still have the photo somewhere archived in the basement of me standing there with my then-popular silk shirt on a rock in the river next to the house. I bought a poster - which I still have to this day - also in the basement somewhere.
Here's hoping for a better weather outlook tomorrow and, again, passing along the irish luck to you guys on your adventure.
Jack, Erin's Dad, was moved from critical care to a regular room in the hospital yesterday. A step closer to getting home at some point later this week.
Be checking onto your blog again tomorrow!
Mike
