Sunset and Silhouettes in Scranton

David Wenzel Treehouse View #3

This view of the David Wenzel Treehouse gives a good look at how it is perched above the edge of the gorge.

David Wenzel Treehouse View #2

The David Wenzel Treehouse is perched above the edge of a 150' gorge.  This view of the treehouse is taken from a trail that runs right beneath it and parallels the gorge.  

David Wenzel Treehouse in Nay Aug Park

David Wenzel served as the 27th mayor of Scranton from 1986 - 1990.  The treehouse was built by Forever Young Treehouses, Inc, as part of a project to construct a memorable and universally accessible treehouse in every state.  Their primary goal is to make certain the treehouses can be enjoyed by children and young adults with special needs.  More information on this noble project can be found at www.treehouses.org. 

Patriotic in the Poconos

Outside of Scranton near the town of White Haven is a small house with bold paint.  Patriotism or just attention seeking behavior?  Whatever the motivation behind it, I appreciate it for being unique and unusual.  The building is a stark contrast to the rural scenery, and when you come around the bend and first see the house it jumps out of the scenery, grabs you by the eyeballs, and demands your attention.
