“I’ll
remember you
Long
after this endless summer has gone
I’ll
be lonely oh so lonely
Living
only to remember you …
To
your arms someday I’ll return to stay
Till
then I will remember too
Every
bright star we made wishes upon
Love
me always, promise always
Oooh,
you’ll remember too
I’ll
remember you.”
~ “I’ll
Remember You”
~ written by Kui Lee, 1964
~ recorded by the great Elvis Presley,
1966
A
beautiful tree swallow poses with a seemingly wistful expression, as if to say,
“I will remember too” on a beautiful late May afternoon along the Delaware and
Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) at Lehigh Gap.
In the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, the Lehigh
Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature
Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the
D&L Trail.
The
Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh
Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
