A Journey to the Southeastern Part of the United States, Day 1

By Nate Feldman

I am using the next week to explore different states in the southeastern part of the United States.  I began my journey yesterday going down US-route 1, a slower, but more scenic way to travel than using the I-95 highway.  Along the way, I stopped at Gunpowder Falls State Park in Maryland, just north of Baltimore.  I wasn't there long enough to see everything this park has to offer, but it was still a nice experience.

The River at Gunpowder Falls Park

Fortunately, the sky was mostly clear, and the temperature was relatively mild for June, so it was a very pleasant walk.  I got on a trail in a densely wooded area alongside a river.  Being the first full day of summer, the area was extremely lush with plant life.  In parts, it felt as if I were walking through a tropical rain forest.

Below is a video of the woods and the river at the park.
