From Cowanesque to Hammond Lake

Cowanesque Lake from the
Campground

Well we are back, still in Tioga County work camping but now we are at Ives Run and actually have Internet access.  It is amazing how much we missed technology.

 

We did our normal trips around the lake on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, got the Nelson Falls area cleaned up along with all the overlooks and boat launch areas.  We did go to the VFW for subs on Wednesday and ran into Denny and Mike, it was nice to run into old friends. 

 



Band Comp.

Friday after work, I packed up and headed down state (plan to spend the day with dad).  I got to Dillsburg about 7:30 and just hung out at Lynne and Rick's while doing a load of laundry.  I got up Saturday and headed over to meet dad for lunch at the Atlantic Bread Co., where Dave and Karen joined us.  We finished there stopped at Costco's, over to the post office then off to visit Aunt Lida.  My heart does go out to her, big changes and she really isn't liking them.  Dad then headed out to do whatever he needed to do and I headed to the storage unit.  Dug through the boxes, and I think I got all the hunting stuff.....time will tell.  After that, off to Cedar Cliff HS to watch Brittany and Ally perform in a band Competition, then over to Mel's for a piece of Peanut Butter cake, made by Monique.

Sunday I got up, back to the storage unit for somethings I forgot, then to lunch at the American Legion, with Dad, Lynne, Deb, Jim, Karen and Brittany.  After that we stopped for some pumpkins and gourds, then I hit the road for home.  I got here about 6:00, sausages for dinner and a long day planned for tomorrow (ha ha). 

 

Monday Brad headed out to do the rounds and I packed up the RV.  I had the little stuffed packed when he got back and together we finished and hit the road.  We left Cowanesque Lake and headed over to Ives Run CG, on the Hammond Lake (a 30 min. drive).  We found our site, got set up and had burgers for dinner.  We do have Internet and phone service here, but being in the trees, no satellite service, so only 2 channels with the antenna, and of course, nothing you want to see is on either of them, so off to bed early. 

 

Tuesday we met with Dina, the volunteer Coordinator, and at 9:30 when she still hasn't shown up, we go looking for her.  She asks us if we can try to fix the stone walls that has fallen over, so this time, the job isn't quite as easy, but for 20 hours a week, not that bad.  We didn't work today, instead I went to the grocery store (the cupboards were bare) and Brad washed some more of the motor home.  We got the groceries put away, went for a walk, then had chicken and veggies for dinner.  After dinner we went for another walk, then headed back to camp.  We watched a little TV then off to bed. 

 

Today is Wednesday, but I'll try to post again tomorrow, so I'm off to work, Diane
