The bears did not eat me. Joe and I slept well at the campground. This morning we met up with Linda at Dingmans Falls which is in the same National Forest as our campground. This forest is in the Pocono Mountains.
The walk into the falls is made up of wooden planks and according
to my step counter is 2000 steps one way. We arrived at 10:00am and there was
nobody else around so we could enjoy the sounds of nature. I took photos and a
few short clips. I think hearing the waterfalls is as enjoyable as seeing them.
Linda snapped a photo of the two of us and another photo of
Joe and me. I think she has a filter on the first photo cause it’s true she
looks young and gorgeous – this photo makes me look a bit younger. Thank you,
Linda!
Thankfully, the path to the falls includes bench seating every 400 to 500 feet. We walked from bench to bench, enjoying nature, and would then sit and talk for a bit. We finished the trip there and back in about 2 ½ hours and I’ll admit most of it was sitting and talking. Joe was a trooper and went the entire trek which included steps and a path up above Dingman’s where he saw a third waterfall.
Linda and I were happy to experience Silver Thread Falls and
Dingman Falls.
Linda had to pick her grandchildren up from school shortly
after 3:00 pm and Joe I drove to Millbrook Village (Hardwick, New Jersey) which
is a recreation of old buildings to represent a facsimile of a village in the
area during the 1700s. We were the only two visitors. The Village is unstaffed
and still undergoing restoration. Joe was disappointed in the village; however,
we enjoyed the drive through the Poconos.
Now we are sitting in a Starbucks. I am writing my blog from
here as our campground has no Wi-Fi or phone reception.
Tomorrow, we head to Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Yeaaaaa!!!!
