We're staying at the Lower Lake Campground in Promised Land State Park, one of Pennsylvania's earliest state parks. Apparently Shakers bought this land from the British Crown here in the land established by William Penn for religious freedom. It seems the Shakers...
We're headed to the Poconos today. Even by the shortest route the driving time is around four hours, a long day in our present state of mind. We're stopping fairly frequently. This time it's to seek a geocache at a interstate rest area. Beyond the picnic area there's...
The Quemahoning Dam was built beginning in 1911 to create a reservoir of water to supply the Cambria Iron Works in Johnstown in the years following the great flood. In recent years the area has been purchased by two local counties and besides supplying water to local...

We made the short walk from the campsite to the local purveyor of frozen confections and sampled their Extreme Cookies and Cream! Then to atone we walked in the opposite direction to see the powerhouse at the outflow and the massive dam towering over us. It gave us a...
