Weather has been a bit bad the last few days so we have not done much. But on Thursday it was nice so we took the bike for a ride. We first went to a place called Dingmans Falls in the Delaware Water Gap National park. It was a nice ride and as luck would have it when we got there they were having a guided tour by a ranger so we joined in. He first took up to a small water fall called Silver Thread Falls. It is a nice narrow falls that I liked the best. He told us how the water cut out the rocks to make the falls. Then we went to the Dingmans Falls which was larger but more flat. From there you could walk up some 700 steps to get to the top and look down on it. Not that great a view but ok.
Then we rode across the Delaware River to the New Jersey side and headed south on Old Mine Road. It takes you about 20 miles to I80 and then back to camp. The road was a bit rough but you got to see some nice things. You run into an old town called Millbrook Village. The town was started around 1832 and was a farm town. Farmers would bring food here to trade and sell. The National Park Service and Millbrook Village Society have rebuilt the town and made it a place you can tour at no cost.
It was a good day and a nice ride even though Gloria did not like the road being so rough.
