Pine Creek Gorge
Pine Creek Gorge-in a part of the country far from any shopping mall or four-lane freeway-is a 64-kilometer passage through the northeastern wilderness that drops nearly 442 meters at its deepest point. It’s known as Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon, and though it may not be nearly as large as Arizona’s it is certainly grand.
The entire area surrounding the gorge is sparsely populated and largely undeveloped, with nearly 400,000 hectares of park and forest land. The gorge itself began forming 350 million years ago, and the layers of rock put on their own color show, as the sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and shale take on hues of green, gray, brown and red.

America on the Greyhound
After I immigrated to the United States in October 2006, one of the first things we did was take a bus trip across the country. My wife and I traveled on a Greyhound bus from New York to Los Angeles, taking larger stops at Washington DC, St. Louis, Denver, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas and numerous other pit-stops enroute. The month-long trip was my way of knowing the country before we settled down to work.
My journey and observations was published as a two-part series in SPAN magazine. The articles can be read here and here.

Our travel was subsequently published in India Today Travel Plus and The Eureka Reporter (the newspaper has ceased publication).
