Galeton was superb! The lil' town carnival, the fireworks, the lumberjack fest.....very cool country stuff!

On Sunday morning before we left to go back to the Pocono's for the night, a bear came up to the back yard behind the cabin we were staying in. I went out there to photograph her & then another smaller bear came. I believe it was a mother & cub. The larger bear became a little annoyed with this smaller bear & became a bit aggressive towards it, charged & chased it right past me. The ground thundered beneath me & I had a lil' scary feeling right in the center of my belly....but the pictures were all worth it!!!

Our hosts were the best! They took great care of us & showed us a wonderful time! They have a little slice of heaven up there & sure know how to appreciate it!

We brought back "Sky Lanterns" from the

carnival which are similar to miniature hot air balloons. They are made out of biodegradable materials, have a pad that you light in the center of the bottom opening, they rise into the sky & only come down when they burn out. They are truly magical! Last night, we went to my son, Steven's, new house for dinner down at Jeffer's Landing and we shared them with the kids, grandkids & a best friend with her son.

Very awesome time...nobody got hurt & we didn't burn anything down!
