Wellsboro 2007

My parents, Lisa, and I went to Wellsboro in September. The trip was short, and OK. I wish I could say it was great, but some things went awry.

On Friday night, we took the long drive out to Cherry Springs SP, to see a stargazing program. The rangers at the park showed us some of the "imaginary" constellations in the night sky. These were some of the clearest and most star-filled skies that I have ever seen - Milky Way, satellites, etc. It felt great to share it with my family.

On Saturday, I hiked a section of the West Rim Trail of the Pine Creek Gorge. This was my first hike back from the busted ankle, so I was a bit apprehensive. The trail was terribly underwhelming. I saw not a soul on the trail, and barely an interesting sight. The Fam met me at the end of the hike with lunch, where we took in some views. Our poor luck continued with our made-to-order lunch that was hardly that. Later, we went to dinner, where the timing and quality of service and food was shameful.

We still like the town, but wish that this trip had gone a little better. Pictures.
