Sheffield PA

Well, the weather kinda hindered our plans a bit....we did hike, but we never got the dinghy in the water. With no access to outside info, we judged from the skies that the weather wasn't going to be great. it hasn't been bad yet, but apparently we are in the "red zone" for likely thunderstorms today, so just as well. its not like the lake is a touristy lake with lots of places to "duck in" if the weather turns bad. there is only one Marina that we can see, and its a long way off from where we are....The Forest is huge, and there don't seem to be many people here. There are tons of trails for hiking-we just picked a couple- so the hiking was great. My favorite part was when we got DEEP into the forest and Paul started calling out to the bears (we are in Black Bear territory)....I helped by calling "here kitty kitty" . Paul laughed, but really, isnt the idea to just make some noise? We are now in Sheffield PA, just outside the Forest, doing a ton of laundry. we leave in the AM for Lake Seneca, one of the Finger lakes in NY. We hope to stay there 3 days before heading to Boston. I'll probably write more tomorrow, once we are back into civilization. Its a little spooky being cut off from cell phone and internet, and TV.. Its like when you have a power outage and you say thats ok you'll just watch TV, listen to the stereo, etc etc..... I just keep thinking of things I will do that involve getting online!
