Saturday Aug. 25 and 26, 2007 Countryside Family Campground, Honesdale, PA.
We are on the road this morning and will be heading into Pennsylvania in just a few hours. We had heavy rain and lightening during the night. We thought the wind was blowing hard, but guess not, as many RV’s had awnings out and none were blown down. We never leave ours out at night and very seldom when we are gone for the day unlike a lot of people. We are out of the mountains but it is quite hilly. There are lots of agricultural crops along the way. A field just across from the campground was growing buckwheat and we see lots of soybeans. Also some oats and quite a bit of alfalfa. But mostly we see huge fields of corn growing right up the hillside—no terraces and no irrigation. Everything is very green and lush. There are also several farmers growing food crops and they often have a road side stand. We are on a secondary highway and we travel thru small towns every few miles. Most of New York seems to be this way. We see lots of beautiful old homes, many Victorian, with lots of gingerbread trim and painted attractively. One other thing we enjoy seeing are the BIG majestic churches in every town we go through. Oh my!! God is so good to us. It is not possible to get pictures of homes and buildings while going down the road or we could have a great album. We are in PA and one state closer to Kansas. We have been in 14 new states since we started our New England/northeast trip. I think we will go through 4 more on our way home. We are ready to stay put for a while. So get ready for us Kansas. Near our campground we see a bunch of wind generators and a beautiful lake. As we travel along today we have been watching the temperatures posted on banks…..the last one said 95 degrees!!!! That is way, way too hot for us. We may have to hibernate. There is really not much to do in this area so we can rest a bit, get some wash done and it wouldn’t hurt if we cleaned house a little. The temperature here in Honesdale today was about 95. We pretty much stayed inside and when it began to cool off we went swimming in the pool here at the campground. Sunday was a much nicer day. It rained early am before we got up and stayed cloudy all day. The temperature was is the mid 70’s most of the day. Gene did a few things around the house here and I finished the wash.
