Pennsylvania Trip

We went to southern Pennsylvania to go white water rafting with

some old friends from our old church. Bob & I stayed a few extra

days in Bedford, PA to see some of the historical sites. So these

pictures are really in the wrong order.

We took a driving tour of the area. This was an old log church

built in 1806. Many of the tombstones were dated from the

1800's & a few birthdates were from the late 1700's. Part of the tour were some "odd" things like this huge quarter.

This was an ice cream shop shaped like a sundae.

This was an old coffee shop-no longer being used.

This was called "Hawkwatch" maintained by the Audobon

Society. We drove way up in the mountains on a little dirt

road to get up here but what a great view! It wasn't the

right time to see hawks but it was still really quiet & beautiful.

This was all part of a covered bridge tour-I think there were

13 in all.

"George Washington slept here"-during the Whiskey

Rebellion when he was president. The town of

Bedford was really neat-full of history. We did a

walking tour of the town, went to the Fort Bedford

museum & to Old Bedford Village.

We went rafting with Steve & Nancy Runyon, Ron & Lori

Benedict & Bob & Gayle Losinger. The day we were leaving we

went to the Fort Necessity Museum. Very nice museum.

There was also an old inn that we toured.

Fort Necessity from a distance-the only place that Washington surrendered.

A waterfall near where we rafted.

There was a natural waterslide also in the Ohiopyle

State Park. Only Ron & Steve were crazy enough

to give it a try. It did look like fun but a little

hard on the body!

Nancy, Steve, Bob L. & Gayle rafting the Youghighany(sp) River.

We had a great time. It was good to re-connect with old friends &

the rafting was really fun.

Judy, Lori,Ron, & Bob-we were stuck on a rock.

We stayed at the Lodge at Chalk Hill-a little rough but comfortable

enough. The view was great!
