Riverside Campground Montgomery, Pennsylvania

I started my morning walk in the campground. 

When I got near the campground entrance, I saw trash bags strewn around in front of the dumpster.  This was odd because the day before, the area was neat and clean.  I went to investigate and I saw bear scat! 

I was out and about early and I was out by myself.  A bear that is eating people food is BAD news.  I went back to the RV, having decided that as much as I would like to see a bear…this was not the place to do so!  A young guy told me later that the bear has been getting into the dumpster at night and probably isn’t a threat to campers during the day.

As Tim and I were checking out, we stopped to look around and Tim saw these bear prints.

We drove along the scenic road through farm country and forest.  We wanted to see Williamsport but the closest RV site we could find was 10 miles south in Montgomery.  We are camped right along the Susquehanna River.

We had lunch and rested and then I walked here in the campground.  We drove into Williamsport. 

A scenic overlook on the way. It is so hazy here. We wonder if it is related to the fires out west. We had heard that the residual smoke was this far east.

We walked around a little in town. 

This is the home of the first organized little league baseball games and now the home of the Little League World Series.  There are statues on the street corners.  Here are players at home base.

And first base.

We had a delicious dinner at Barrel 135.
