There's just something I love about old bottles, even if broken 😌
Just something I whipped together using a thrifted display case 🥰

Cascade Park New Castle, PA 📍
This gorgeous part of the park is located on the bottom area near the picnicgrove. Remnants of a roller-coaster, "The Comet", are left behind.
In 1897, Cascade Park was purchased & made into an amusement park. Sadly, the last full season of rides was in 1981.
The park is now a recreational area offering hiking trails, picnic shelters, bocce court, a playground & beautiful views.

Fun little piece of wall art I made from broken bottles/canning lids I've collected on my adventures, a thrifted frame & resin. 😍😍😍
It's probably one of my favorite decorations in the house now 🤣

White Sands 📍
I think it was an old mine area?
The hills are fun to slide down lol 😆
The Penna railroad used to run through this area a long time ago.
The one side of the sandy area sounds hollow when walking on top of it, so avoid that area. (see caption under the one photo). I feel like it would be a long way down if someone fell through 😅
Again, please remember the Golden rule of hiking: leave the area cleaner than you found it. Please don't litter. There is tons of wildlife in this area including deer, fox, coyote, bobcat & bear (I found bear s**t 😅) Always have my bear spray on me 🤞
Happy hiking! 🥰

Big Run Falls Cascade Park New Castle, PA 📍
Such a gorgeous area with a perfect 20-25ft waterfall that you can walk behind 😍

The falls were created thousands of years ago when the Wisconsin glacier receded.
The walk to the bottom is quite steep, but super fun. Next time I go back, it will be with a trash bag beings people can't clean up after themselves. 🤦‍♀️

BEAUTIFUL view of the waterfall 😍
There's something enchanting about going behind waterfalls 🥰

This place is known as "white sands". Not much info on it that I can find. The railroad ran through this area a long time ago. The one area to the left sounds hollow underneath, so I now venture around that area so I don't fall in lol
It's either an old mine or a dump of some sort. It smells weird & the hillside of it is soft.

This bad boy has definitely been here for a hot minute.
Never know what you'll find! ✨️
I kept having premonitions of an animal trap & I guess this is why 😆
