Partly Cloudy, but Mild Day!

Nice to have the Martins back camping with us.  Rather leisure morning as far as wake up time, but then we got busy.  Ken and I have been having some issues with our electric since we arrived and needed to change to 30 amp service instead of 50 since it appeared that the 50 amp hook-up at our site was not working properly.  We think it is a problem with the CG and not Willie, but to be certain, we decided to move to a different site.  (There are plenty available!).  So with the Martins help, we move over 3 sites where we know the CG recently replaced the breakers.  Hopefully our problem will be solved.  Time will tell!

After breakfast, the 4 of us headed to hike from the Smithfield Beach Trailhead to the Riverview Trailhead that is within viewing distance of the Delaware River.  The trail was level and well-maintained and several times we stopped to take a little detour down to the river.  It was close to 60 today, but abit breezy with only a little sunshine.  A great day for a hike!!!  The leaves and mountainside are getting very colorful.  We saw 3 ring necked pheasants and 4 hen pheasants.  We saw evidence of a bear being on the trail probably within the last 24 hours, but no bear sighting.  After walking alittle over 5 miles, we headed back to the CG to enjoy Happy Hour.  The men built a fire for cooking dinner and then we took a walk around the CG looking for deer.  Fred continue searching when the rest of us return to our campfire, and he saw 2.  We gave up too quickly.

Cooked dinner over the fire and then we will play some games including cards.  Another enjoyable day in the life of the Happy Campers!

Aren't the leaves beautiful???


One branch with many different colored leaves!
