Memorial Day Weekend

Yesterday Barbara and I travelled from the southern part of Pennsylvania north. We landed in the town of Bloomsburg at the Indian Head RV Park. This was the only RV Park we could find that had space for us over the Memorial Day weekend. We will be here until Monday when we head south to Lebanon, near Hershey. Yes we are zig zagging all over the state. However, when we get to Lebanon we will be there for 15 days. I’m looking forward to relaxing and not having to tow our home around. One thing for certain, the roads in Pennsylvania weren’t made for large trailers.

When we arrived yesterday the skies were overcast and the forecast called for rain most of the weekend. Just after we finished setting up the skies opened up and it rained most of the day, through the night and into this morning. When the rain stopped, late this morning, I grabbed my camera and took a hike. The Indian Head RV Park is located at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and Fishing Creek. So I hiked along the shorelines of each as far as I could go and took a few photos. Take a look.

This is part of the old rusty bridge shown above. They used to be part of a train bridge that crossed the Susquehanna River. However, as you can see, the bridge is overgrown with vegetation and no longer in use.

  1. Isn’t it amazing how green it is in the East compared to what we are used to out West this time of year. We took a drive over to Marietta, Ohio ( the oldest city in Ohio) on Saturday and the greenery was spectacular. It’s comforting being in an area not constantly threatened by wildfires.

  2. Such greenery you’d swear you were in Leprechaun land. Pretty similar to the greenery here but more hills and robust trees. Love the little bit of history with the bridge there too!
