then down though New York state and finally a 6 day stay in an Inn in Hawley PA. The weather was perfect with the exception of the last three days of our journey when it just rained nonstop. Hawley, although a popular recreational spot for New Yorkers, is about as secluded as you can get. It is located in the scenic Poconos Mountains and has a population of about 1200 people. The roads leading to the town are steep, winding twisting and the entire area is surrounded by forest. While in Hawley we stayed at the Country Inn next to the Old Mill Stream. The Inn is located just downstream from a dam that creates Lake Wallenpaupack, which is used for recreation activities.
The Inn is a stone structure built as a glass mill back in the 1800s complete with a water wheel.
Up on the cliffs behind the Inn is another huge stone structure that is a store filled with antiques. The biggest and most diverse collection of antiques I’ve ever seen at one spot. But while in PA we spent most of our time sightseeing and one of the most scenic areas was the nearby Delaware Water Gap. It’s a 40 mile stretch where the Delaware River cuts through the mountains. This are also 6 or seven waterfalls along this 40 mile stretch of river. This is where I took these pictures.
