On Saturday we visited a Woodsmen's Show in Cherry Springs and learned about the logging industry of Pennsylvania, watched a chainsaw competition where the contestants had an hour to create something from a large piece of wood, had a rootbeer float and French fries, and enjoyed the lumberjack competition where they had springboard races, crosscut competitions and axe throwing!
Sunday brought a restful day of church, a grilled lunch, board games, a movie about Mark Twain called "Roughing It," and a long drive through the mountains and up onto several vistas. At one turn in the road were all these signs alerting you to the fact these hunting cabins were down the road:
On Monday we played a few rounds of miniature golf (I didn't do too well!) and took a long ride to the middle of nowhere for a county fair while we listened to a book on tape about the events of 1908 in America. At the fair we enjoyed some food, walked the grounds and visited the historical society set up in an old schoolhouse. The displays were very interesting, and M. and I enjoyed stepping back in time for a bit.
And, of course, we had ice cream every day!
