Wednesday, 19 July – Crooked Run CG, Prince Gallitzin State Park, Patton, PA

11 am and we are on the road north, west and north towards Glendale Lake.  We continue up narrow Aughwick Road for another 6 miles and end up at Burnt Cabins at the top of Allens Valley to join SH76 westwards.  We chose this route because the map had the green dots indicated a scenic highway.  However 76 is a toll road and an expensive one at that, so we get off at Breezewood, the first exit.  We must have only been on it for less than 10 miles and that was $5.35 thank you very much.  The furtherest exit was up around $35.  Anyway we then take route 26 north, stopping at Walmart at Duncansville to dial up some WIFI to check our emails, FB etc., even after two days it feels like we have been out of the loop for ages.  We carry on another 20 odd miles to our destination.

Typical landscape here in PA, pretty isn't it

Prince Gallitzin SP, a large 450 site park on Glendale Lake.  We seem to have escaped the heat wave and are now enjoying days starting at around 24C and maybe getting up to late 20’s with the odd 30C, just lovely!


This park has good cell coverage but the WIFI is an additional cost.  We are on a 50 amp site, no water or sewer and with our 'senior discount' is only $25.50/night.  There is a nice little track around to the marina, the kayak hire concession and the swim beach and the bathrooms are behind us, not too far away.  We can see the lake between the trees in front of us.
