Bloomsburg/Ricketts Glen

26th Sept
Bloomsburg Fair
This is about as big a fair as you could get. Just about every animal imaginable was on show.
Cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, sheep, pigs and a whole lot more even some white tigers.
Every vegetable under the sun was also on show, with a whopping great big Pumpkin weighing in at over 100lbs, it needed a forklift truck to get it there.
There were craft stalls everywhere and of course lots and lots of places cooking all sorts of food.

Ricketts Glen
What an amazing place, this is an area of outstanding beauty. It has 26 miles of hiking trails and at least 21 spectacular waterfalls. We have been here before about three years ago but it is one of those places that is well worth a second visit. By starting a trail at the bottom of the gorge we were able to see all 21 waterfalls, the going was a bit tough in places but the views were well worth the effort.



On the move again in the morning, heading down to Harrisburg. May even get to go hashing.
