July 15, 2021 Welcome To Kane – A Star In The Forest

Kane RV Sites Kane, Pennsylvania

What a gorgeous morning for a walk.  The camp host told us that today was the first dry day in the past four weeks. 

I did 3.25 HILLY miles in 60 minutes.  A little itty-bitty snail was my only walking companion. 

After breakfast, we drove the Longhouse Scenic Byway all the way to Kane.  The campground is unremarkable but it had a spot for us and because all of the state parks and national forest campgrounds are booked on the weekends…we feel lucky to be here!  We needed to be in town anyway to get laundry done and shop for groceries and that is how we spent our day.

One of the things we really like to do when we are in a new town is to shop in unfamiliar stores and find things to try.  People come from hours away to shop at Bell’s Meat Market.  They boast a selection of 40 different kinds of sausage and something they call grillers which is chicken breast stuffed with Virginia baked ham, Swiss cheese, and sausage all wrapped in bacon and ready for your grill!  Needless to say, we steered clear of all that unhealthy stuff.  We saw this jar of pickled turkey gizzards and although we like to try new things…we left them on the shelf!

It is also nice to have internet and cell service.  We were able to make some calls and get some cleaning done as well.

We went into Kane for dinner at Table 105.  We both had delicious meals…thanks mom for the birthday dinner!

After our meal, we walked through town. 

The high school mascot is the wolf and most of the area businesses had wolf flags and posters in their storefront windows.

This statue of a mama wolf and her pups sits on the corner and is dedicated to E. H. McCleery, the father of the endangered species movement.

We stopped at That Natural Store and bought some museli and some homemade organic lemon pomegranate super bars. 

It was a lovely evening for a stroll.
