Arrival at Rivers Edge CG near Ohio Pyles

Ken and I left home at 7:30 and headed toward Connellsville to Rivers Edge CG.  We drove on the PA Turnpike and enjoyed a great breakfast sandwich (ham, egg and cheese on sourdough bread) at Roy Rogers.  If you have never had one, give it a try.  Probably my favorite breakfast sandwich from any restaurant!  We were at the CG by 12:45.  It is a very nice CG that is well-maintained - completely renovated pool, new picnic tables, new playground, etc.  Impressive!  The setting is wondeful.  It is bordered on the one side by the Youghiogheny River and on the other side by the Great Allegheny Passage, which is a beautiful biking trail.  Very picturesque!  After setting up and having lunch, Ken and I inflated our Sea Eagle kayak and paddled on the Youghiogheny River launching right from the CG.  We came upon some rapids that we thought we could paddle through, but not to be!  We paddled so hard for quite awhile and realized we got no where!  (We were fighting the current!)  So, we turned around and drifted back to the CG with our feet propped and our heads resting on our inflatable seats.  What a life!

Beautiful place to paddle!

The CG is right along the River and you can
there is a launching area right near Willie!

The Martins arrived while we were kayaking.  We took
this photo from our kayak.

This is way to Kayak!!!!


Fred and Doloris got to the CG around 3:45.  It was so hot, hazy, and humid today so we headed to the pool to cool down!  Only got back to our RV's around 7:30.  Where does the time go?  Never did have supper until 8:45 followed by some serious card playing and we each won a game.  The men only won their game by 1 point!!!!

Another fun camping day!  Doesn't get much better!!!!!!
