Peter And Evie - Travel blog: May 13 - Delaware Water Gap, East Stroudsburg, PA

We had an easy 2 hour drive to our last RV campground, before heading home. This one is at the south end of the Delaware Water Gap, where PA, NJ & NY all come together. We are on the PA side. We are staying in a KOA campground, which is rather expensive comparatively. But, it is nicely spaced. In order to stay here, you need to be self-contained, as all of their bath houses and other facilities are closed. Since our site is full hookup, that is no problem for us. We set up at our site, but found out the water was shut off. Turns out they had a leak in the pipes, and were in the middle of fixing it.
At the entrance to this campground, there is a Beware of Guinea Fowl sign, and a "hoard" of Guinea fowls just walking about. I also loved the sign by the road, with the silhouette of Sasquatch walking in the woods.
We ate lunch, and headed out to see the Dingman's Falls. Usually you can drive up to the visitor center, then walk the 1/2 mile to the falls, but they closed the road to the visitor center. So, you had to park at the entrance to this section of the park, and walk the mile down the road to the visitor center, before walking out to the falls. The road went along the river. It was a beautiful day, and a nice walk. The National Park Service certainly does a nice job in its parks. The trail out to the falls was all along a nice boardwalk. There were actually two waterfalls. Silverthread falls was very tall and slender, nestled in a crack in the rocks around it. Then, Dingman Falls was delightful. There was a nice bench across from the falls, at the bottom, which we just sat on and enjoyed the view. There is definitely an energy surrounding a waterfall that is invigorating and uplifting, and this one had it in spades. All the senses are activated--smell the air, feel the mist, see the waterfalls crashing to the rocks, hear the water crashing and flowing, not sure about taste. All the elements are in this view--earth, water, fire, air, and I add trees. What a delight.
We returned to the RV and running water. Since we had stopped at the nearby grocery store on the way back, we also picked up a pizza from the store in the same mall. So we had pizza and salad dinner outside. Very nice day.
