We took off on a 3-day weekend to Pine Creek Gorge one day after wife returned from 3 weeks in MN. Truckzilla handled very well; driving is no longer a white-knuckle experience. I rigged the bike rack on the front. We lost a bike rack strap on the PA turnpike, so I pulled off to re-rig it, getting buzzed by semis going 85mph a few feet away from me.
Somewhere on Rt 15 north of rt 80
GPS took us on dirt roads, a little freaky with so much weight and the first time off-pavement with the rig.
Leonard Harrison State Park.
We walked down to view the gorge. Pictures just don't capture it. We met an older couple there that was staying in Wellsboro.
We scoped the campgrounds (meh), ate salad from jars in the camper, and waited out a thunderstorm. With no electric campsites available, the DNCR lady referred us to a campground close by.
Which we hit. The office people were initially unfriendly, but they had a lab named Misty. It was a pretty nice place. There were 2 other (older) truck campers there. I filled the tanks and we dropped anchor.
A path leads out of the campsite thru the woods back to Leonard Harrison. It was longer than we expected, and arriving at the rear of the campground at LH, we just took a little breather and headed back for camp. On the way back, Missy ran thru the woods for reasons unclear.
I think we watched one of the WWII movies - I don't remember.
