Historic PA Rte 6

november 2020

We talked about doing PA Rte 6 many times and somehow never got to it.
What with COVID really putting kebosh on any travelling out of state (never mind country) we decided to make a long TG weekend travelling a small portion of it. Les mer

Cherry Springs State Park
28. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 34 °F
Cherry Springs State Park is an 82-acre state park about 45 mins SW from Wellsboro and is named for a large stand of Black Cherry trees in it. It is popular with astronomers and stargazers for having "some of the darkest night skies on the east coast" of the United States, and was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of Parks as one of "25 Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks". It worth nothing that development of the facilities at Cherry Springs was also the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

They say that it also — surprisingly — offers the chance to witness the Aurora Borealis in all its glory. Peak nights for seeing the Northern Lights occur from around the Autumnal Equinox to the end of September.

Of course with our luck we came in on a completely 100% clear cloudless night.... but also during full moon! The light of the moon was bright enough that it was just "too light" and made it practically impossible to see the myriad of stars we hoped to see :(
None-the-less we were able to spot Mars, Jupiter and Uranus with our naked eyes. I am enclosing the pictures, although, my camera, being a "point-n-shoot" non- professional Fuji with only 100x zoom, I could not get them get into a clear focus.
So L-R: risen Moon, Moon closeup, Mars, Jupiter, Jupiter & UranusLes mer

Breakfast
29. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 30 °F
We are enjoying a reasonably nice breakfast in the Mary Wells dining room of our hotel.
Although (given "the times" obviously) everything is pretty much individually portioned out (no chance of a hot buffet that would've been served otherwise) it had variety of pastries, muffins, cereals, yogurts, juices and of course teas and coffee.
The hotel was also very nice to provide a small lunch bag which had a muffin and an apple. We surely took advantage every day we were there and it was a good mid-day snack of a sort after our hikesLes mer

Colton Point State Park
29. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 34 °F
Colton Point State Park is a 368-acre park and is on the west side of the Pine Creek Gorge. It is named for Henry Colton, a Williamsport lumberman who cut timber there starting in 1879 and was also a part of the conservation efforts of the CCC in the 1930s.
We hit the Park reasonably early this morning and decided to hike The Rim Trail, which follows the western edge of the Pine Creek Gorge through the park, linking overlooks and picnic shelters.
Unfortunately it proved to be a bit narrow for Laurie who did not feel comfy enough being "that close to the edge", so we shifted gears and decided to get back onto the Pine Creek Rail Trail, just do a different section.Les mer

Marsh Creek Greenway Access Point
29. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 39 °F
Marsh Creek Greenway access point was the closest point once we existed Colton State Park and we started off there, this time going N\NE, interestingly enough - towards Wellsboro.

Marsch Creek --> Ansonia portion of PCRT
29. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 43 °F
On this stretch we saw lots of wildlife prints. Deer, bear, foxes and bobcat! Laurie played her "usual" Pathfinder :)
We also saw a reafter of wild turkeys in the marshy area proper and met a somewhat elusive (or at least trying to be) orange tabby cat.Les mer

Canada Run mile marker 4
29. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
Mile Marker 4 - Canada Run - was our turn around point (clocking at almost 3.75 miles one way).
We then returned to the car and ultimately went back into town to do some 'holiday shopping'

Dinner at Wellsboro House Brewery
29. november 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
The day (and for all purposes, pretty much the weekend, as we hit the road back home the following morning) was aptly finished off by a scrumptious dinner at Wellsboro House Brewery.
A yummy Port Richmond Creamy Crab dip (the owner as it turned out is from Port Richmond neighborhood in Philly!) appetizer to share, followed by Wellsboro house burger (moi) and White Fish PoBoy (Laurie) - all washed down by a couple of pints of brewery finest ales.Les mer
