I don't think I've ever seen a scenic overlook on a major highway that did not have a "Scenic Overlook Closed Dusk to Dawn" sign...until yesterday. I was driving on I-80 about ten miles east of the Delaware Water Gap just after sunset when I noticed that the scenic overlook was missing a "Closed Dusk to Dawn" sign. Jackpot! Was it actually open 24 hours, or did someone just remove the sign? Who cares?! This was my big chance. Venturing in, I felt the rush of doing something illegal, but at least I wasn't alone, as there were a few other motorists enjoying the vista. I snapped a few hazy pics, including this one. You can see the Delaware Water Gap in the distance, which is the V-like space in the ridge slightly above centre and to the right. But what I like best about it is the way you can see a few uninterrupted strands of headlights as the highway winds its way over the hills, everyone making their way back to the city.

I spent a night in East Stroudsburg once. I was camping in said Delaware Water Gap and got a tick. I had to go to the hospital to get all of it out. Good times.
