Hike – North Country Trail

Road Trip – Day 15 I had never heard of the North Country Trail (NCT) before last month when I saw a picture slideshow my mother in law made of her visit to see spring flowers. It was one of those scary moments when I realized I both didn’t know everything and thought that I did.  How could I not…

Skye’s Happy Place

Road Trip – Day 13 When traveling with Skye, you have to tell her where she is going.  Sometimes the destination isn’t better to her than home.  She loves to be home.  She also wants to know if it’s a “big drive” – 2 hours or more – or a “little drive”.  Today was a big drive to not home.…

Palmyra, New York

Road Trip – Day 11-12   The kids wanted to see Palmyra, NY, and the church history sites.  I have been there at least 3 times, and its a cute, scenic town.  We camped at the KOA in a cabin as rain was in the forecast.  The kids love the little cabins and all the fun amenities of a KOA…

Cedar Run – Memorial Day 2018

Road Trip – Days 4-10

Cedar Run, Pa, is in the Pine Creek Gorge, also known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.  Phil’s parents have a cabin there and this is our second annual McClure Memorial Day cabin week.  There are lots of fun things to do – fishing, biking on the Pine Creek Rail Trail, canoe on Pine Creek, star gaze, or hang simply out at the cabin.  We had a fun filled week with lots of family, cousins, and nature.  Hopefully stars will align and allow us a third annual next year.

The pictures will speak for themselves.  Enjoy.
