Hello again! We have been neglecting our blog ever since we got the dog and it is time to get back into the groove. Our “return post” is about one of our RV trips. I drafted it last fall but never got around to posting so in an effort to…

Catharine Valley Trail, Watkins Glen NY
For our first day in New York we decided to check out a local (well, local to our campground) rail-trail that connects Watkins Glen and Montour Falls. We parked on Fairgrounds Ln at the south end of Watkins Glen and started our walk south along the canal. The vegetation is…

Money Rocks Park – An Ankle Twister
Today we visited Money Rocks Park in Lancaster County Pa. We quickly found out “rocks” was the key word as the trails were consistently covered with softball sized rocks which were difficult to see under the leaves. We both had a few close calls but came through with ankles still…

When we first got into RVing (about 16 years ago), we often camped at the Yogi Bear Campground near Quarryville, PA. One of our traditions was to hike the short path that entered the woods near the lower pond. The girls were still very young and it was a very…
