It has rained almost every day since the end of June. Usually afternoon showers which are followed by high humidity. I am loving this weather!We decided to go exploring this morning. We cycled down to the lake and then along part of the Appalachian Trail. We took a lovely detour through a swamp. The moss and green foliage is wonderful. We discovered a spring with a good supply of crystal clear water. After purchasing chocolate treats at the general store we strolled up to the youth hostel and used their WiFi. Hikers on the trail use the hostel. Amazing to find internet in such remote areas. It reminded me of Seneca Rocks in WV. We were caught in a downpour on our way back to the camper. Wonderful!
After packing up we moved east to Lancaster - the middle of Amish country in Pennsylvania. We drove through severe rainstorms and I was glad when the rain stopped before Lancaster county. Our campground is on a small creek. There is a covered bridge crossing the creek and an old grist mill within the park. We have Amish farms surrounding us. We frequently have Amish buggies passing on the road behind our campsite. (pic) They never acknowledge us when we wave - I believe they are taught to not acknowledge outsiders.
