"Pennsylvania Grand Canyon"===Part II, Wellsboro and Campfire, October 16, 2018

Hello again,

WELLSBORO, PA

Take a Tour of Wellsboro: Wellsboro, a town of beauty and culture rich in natural resources and the County Seat of Tioga County, might be set down in any section of New England and find itself in familiar surroundings. Founded in 1806 by settlers from Delaware, Maryland and Philadelphia, it was incorporated in 1830.

The town was named in honor of Mary Wells, wife of one of the original settlers, Benjamin Wister Morris (https://wellsboropa.com/)

County Court House

According to legend, this Elm Tree was planted sometime in 1700's 

and is the second oldest tree in USA.

WELLSBORO DINER

 Peggy ate here 15-20 years ago and bragged about the famous Wellsboro Diner.

This is the FAMOUS Roast Beef, Smashed Potatoes and Gravy dinner.  Yum, yum.

CAMPFIRE 

Tuesday, Oct16, the sky was clear so we decided to have a campfire. The campfire was in a pit under a pavilion designed for campfires, i.e. such as a Maple Sugar Shack.The temperature was in the high 40's and with snow pants on and several layers of coats, it was very nice.

GOOD NIGHT AND SLEEP TIGHT.

The next post will be about our trip to Leonard Harrison State Park overlooking the PA Grand Canyon.

God Bless, Peggy and Jimmy
