Pine Creek Gorge (Pennsylvania Grand Canyon)





















This is a picture heavy post of some of the photos taken on our trip to Potter County.  Most of the pictures are from various vantage points from Leonard Harrison State Park (the East Rim) and Colton Point State Park (the West rim) of Pine Creek Gorge.  The distance to the bottom of the gorge was a long way down (elevation at the east rim was 1833 feet) and the look down at times made me dizzy.  The little blueish-green house at that bottom of the gorge is one of a very few properties that are on private land.  The leaves hadn't really begun to change colors while we were there but the scenery couldn't be topped for its natural beauty.

On the day we traveled to the town of Wellsboro, the weather was chilly so we stopped at the Wellsboro Diner for pie and coffee.  The feel of the town is quaint and the town has a Victorian Christmas celebration every year.  Fezz's Diner serves a delicious burger and homemade potato chips.

The weekend after we returned home from our trip north, Mr P celebrated a milestone class reunion.  There was a dinner for just the his class on Friday evening and about 29 classmates came from near and far to gather and reminisce about the past and catch up on the here and now.  Saturday morning we squeezed in a yard sale at sister J's and this was followed by a dinner and a program in the evening for all graduates of the high school Mr P attended.

We had a few days after the class reunion to begin to prepare for a week's trip to Myrtle Beach, SC with sister J and her husband B. I'll be back with pictures from that trip next time.
