While conquering Mount Davis last weekend, we were also able to tour the grounds of nearby Falling Water, Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece of architecture. Unfortunately, you must take a tour to gain entrance into the house, and being that this was Memorial Day weekend throngs of folks had already overbooked the place. However, the less expensive stroll through the ground still offers the best views. The house straddles a water fall and definitely does harmonize with the forest and hill. From the path you can best see the reinforced concrete cantilevers, the house’s most notorious feature.
We also made a stop at Ohiopyle, PA to gaze at the scenic and popular rapids on the Youghiogheny River. If the Gulf of Mexico is the Redneck Riveria, than this place is the Redneck Niagra Falls. Not too far from the ‘Burgh, there wereYunzers, choppers, and pleatherette cigarette case as far as the eye could see. I’m allowed to make fun, as my neck has always been more pink than white.
