Golden Beach Campground, NY

Golden Beach Campground, Raquette Lake, New York, 13436. (315)354-4230, Adirondack Park region of New York State. Just a heads up, in case you are thinking let me go camping in New York State, they don't have electric sites ...you do have to be sure to charge your electronic while driving in case you need them every night??! I always have a plan when I leave home that I will read my hand held books, 'cause they are piling up, and for a person who is use to using her kindle at night, 'cause it is lit up by light ... reading at night using a normal book is a way step back. So I tend to read outdoors or when we are camping 'cause that means I have light right on me, not this trip ...so the stack of books will have to wait. LOL! It is a great way to get away and just decompress from life. have a great day. i appreciate your comments. see ya again real soon. Beth ( ; 

Little Pine State Park, PA

Little Pine State Park, Pennsylvania, 4205 Little Pine Creek Rd, Waterville, Pennsylvania. 17776, (570)753-6000. Yes, we did in fact look for some little pines? But the ones we did find were all big and tall??! They had a recent terrible storm, you could see some flooding issues, rocks moved and all that silliness that kind of weather does to the land??! and had to re-plant ...sorry don't know the right word to say they had to replace (move) all of their tombstones within the state park ...they are within the campground. I need to investigate those and see how they were placed there, we guessed it had to do with the ones who owned the land at one time? Our kayaking trip was a short one, later evening before the sun went down, like an after dinner mint, lots of bugs but it was fun to see some eagles flying around ...they were too quick. I did get some shots but they are not very clear. have a great day. i appreciate your comments. see ya again real soon. Beth ( ;

(sign says): " NESSMUK - The pen name of poet, woods, man, outdoor writer and pioneer conservationist George Washington Sears (1821-1890) a resident of Wellsboro, Pa. From near this spot he wrote the first prose and verse descriptions of the Pine Creek Gorge. " Leonard Harrison State Park, "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania", Wellsboro, PA. 16901, (570)724-3061, I must say I don't understand why it is called the Grand Canyon of PA? it is a gorgeous area, please don't get me wrong, but it looks nothing like the Grand Canyon. Just Sayin' ??! I am always wondering how folks come up with names for parks, businesses and other places ...we really need to work on that, be more descriptive and to the point. Like we have noticed a lot of just for an example, you have a hotel that is called "Water Lake Views" but it is no even close to a water view or location? It really makes no sense. Mean what you name says please? ( ; have a great day. i
