06/17/2008: "Pennsylvania Vacation, Day Four, June 2, 2008"



Katelyn with a turkey feather stands upon a composite rock in the stream.



I’m glad I bundled up Sunday night, because I woke up to a 42-degree morning. I was comfortable, though, no doubt about that.

After breakfast and coffee, Katelyn and I walked to the falls down the road again. This time, I wanted to get more adventurous and go where she and Randy had gone previously.

Getting to the falls itself is a bit of a challenge, but Katelyn was able to do it without any issues. As long as she had her footing, the rest was just fine. We made it as far as a little niche in the hill right where the falls were.


The falls

Can you see the lone weeds growing up in the middle of the streaming water?

Katelyn rests in the little niche.

A look downstream from the niche.



After enjoying the roar of the water and the peace of the location, Katelyn and I walked back to camp. We had leftovers for lunch, and we all went off to the nearby Tionesta Creek for some fishing. Randy and Katelyn went off to have some fun, Dylan went in the other direction to find some good fishing. Heather and I sat under a tree and just read for a while.


There were tons of polywogs where we were sitting.  They just lounged about on sunken driftwood.

This is a view downstream.  Randy and Katelyn are sitting in the weeds.  Can you see the house on top of the hill in the background?

Geese and goslings float along the creek.



Dylan did not catch anything this day. The carp just were not interested at all.

However, Heather made up for it that night by making some fantastic slow-cooked BBQ in a crock-pot. That made for a filling and satisfying dinner Katelyn and I took another evening walk back down towards the falls area, and we all ended the night with some quiet time in the living room. We had had a busy and active vacation up until that point, and we all just wanted to get in some quiet time and reading.

Plenty of vacation left, though!
