Hello, I'm back. Wednesday 9-26 we worked on the stone wall and got a couple of loads of mulch. After work we got cleaned up and headed over to the Knoxville VFW for sub night. We didn't hang out too long, headed home and off to bed a early, both tired from the day's work.
Thursday we worked on the wall, but mostly hauled and spread mulch. We quit early and headed into town to do a load or two of laundry, and by this time Lynne called her and Rick were about half way here already. We got back to camp about an hour before they pulled in, and the four of us ended up having hot dogs for dinner and s'mores. While up at our site, Lynne was walking Bailey when she slipped in the mud and bent her knee back to the point of pulling a muscle or two....ouch.
Friday we got up, Lynne and Rick were moving sites, so Brad and I headed into town for breakfast. Then since it was a rainy day, we decided to head up to the Corning Museum. We didn't get there until about 2:00, got something to eat and did some shopping....so no Museum tour since they closed at 5:00. We left there and headed back to camp. We didn't get here until about 6:00 and since we had a late lunch, we ended up not having dinner until about 9:00, which was just hog maw sausages. I don't think we even had s'mores....we were too full.
Saturday we planned on doing an 18 mile bike ride and since Lynne's knee was hurt, a wine tour in Wellsboro. We had breakfast, called about the tickets for the wine tour....all sold out, oh well, into Wellsboro and a shopping day will do. Brad and Rick wanted a Starbucks coffee, so we headed to Dunham's and then they headed into the Gas Light for a burger and Lynne and I headed out to do some shopping. We went back to check on the guys, ended up having a beer and playing a game of Galaga (talk about old memories), then her and I headed out again. We were in the second store when Brad finally called looking for us. They met us out side and we headed back to the car. I don't think were stopped at any more stores, just a quick hustle through town to the car (that was their plan). Rick was making us dinner tonight, so we dropped them off and headed up to camp to get what ever we needed for dinner and snacks. We had chicken, baked potatoes, and home canned squash. After that we had mountain pies and s'mores and just sat around the fire. Lynne and I walked Bailey a couple of times, checking out the other campers and comparing the camp fires, I think Rick and the guys across the street were having a campfire battle (who's is bigger).
Sunday, Lynne and Rick are packing up to go home, but do take time out for breakfast up at our site. They finished packing and we walked down to see them off, then just kind of hung out for the day. We didn't do much and had the left over hog maw sausages for dinner (they we smelling up the refrig.) Lazy day and early to bed....how does that happen.
We got up Monday toast for Brad and Yogurt for me, then off to work. We started about 9:00, had a quick sandwich for lunch and then didn't quit until 4:00. We had a ham steak for dinner and again off to bed early.....this time because we worked hard and are tired. We did manage to go for a little drive to do some spotting, but no deer.

Today they are calling for a rainy day, so we head out to breakfast. After that we head out through Tioga and find a new road to explore. We ended up going over 15 finding a valley that we have never ventured into before. We saw 4 or 5 deer and on our way back out we saw a bear cub, the poor thing looked scared, like its been running for awhile and we didn't see mom at all. We headed around a hair pin turn, and here is the cub again, stupid me, Brad stopped and I jumped out of the car to get a picture, after I get back in the car I realize what I did and am glad I didn't see mom (but I did get the pic). We get back and the two gate attendants have left, so we plan on moving to one of their sites. Since the rain has held off and there is barely a drizzle we decided to move today. We packed up what we needed to and moved about 100 yards. not far, but it gets us into the sunshine and out of the damp, cold woods. We pull in, get level and when I walked around the front of the RV, I notice all this mud up the front, I know the RV didn't do a nose dive into the mud so I call Brad over to check it out, and we both agree it looks like paw prints about 4 to 4 1/2 foot up the front of the RV including the moss and mud. Never thought much about it, but the grill was knocked over this morning and we just thought it was a raccoon. Now that we look at that again, it could be a paw print on the top, now I'm really glad we moved. We finally get everything moved, settled in then run off to town. We get back, have chicken for dinner, and I'm just hoping the bear doesn't find us here. Diane and Brad
