Spending Sometime in the Poconos


Spending Sometime in the Poconos

Today we went to the Poconos taking the scenic route of US Highway 209, no commercial trucks are allowed on the stretch through the Poconos that follows the Delaware River. We did not see George Washington anywhere; he was not crossing the Delaware today.

We went to the Dingmans Falls and it was a nice walk through the forest and two nice falls. The falls are the Silver Thread Falls and the Dingmans Falls. Pictures will follow at the end of the post.

On our way back we wanted to cross the Delaware using the Dingmans Ferry Toll Bridge. However, it has a 4 ton weight limit and the truck weigh 6.5 tons. The bridge was built in 1900 and before that it was a barge build by Andrew Dingman it was constructed as a flat boat ferry, in 1740.

We are staying at Deerpark KOA, our friend Dee works here and we are visiting with her.
