Monday 8/16/10Finishing the solar installation for Ed and Elaine, we said good bye to Stump Creek. We stopped for lunch in Punxsutawney and to visit “Phil” the famous groundhog and his buddy who live at the local library. Perhaps this will sound familiar as the place where the groundhog peeks his head out each February to check his shadow to determine if we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter or not).
They were sleeping soundly and showed no desire to give us a show.
We walked around the town taking in the many wonderful old architecture and local flavor.
The small town has groundhog statues on nearly every corner depicting the business it stands in front of. There was a fireman groundhog at the fire station, bellhop at the hotel, etc.
Late in the day we arrived at the beautiful Kenisee Lake Thousand Trails Park. It is maintained as well, if not better than the Hershey Park. The staff here is extremely friendly and we are enjoying the fact that it is a bit cooler and much less humid. We are only a short ways from Lake Erie and there is a lot to do here. We plan to be here until September 6, so hopefully will have time to take in some sights as well as accomplish some work
