- Attempted to get a good view of the Delaware Water Gap, the spot were the Delaware River cuts through a large mountain ridge. Unfortunately, the roadside overlooks have trees than have become overgrown and the trail up the mountain is closed due to endangered birds nesting.
- Went to Bushkill Falls, which has one of the most powerfull waterfalls in the state, at over a 100ft, but also costs $15 to enter. Hike for about an hour around the park
- Drove up the road a bit to Dingmans Falls, which is probably my favorite waterfall of the trip with a large vertical drop transitioning to a smooth diagonal drop.
- Went further up the road to Raymondskill Falls, which is the highest in the state at 150ft.
- Picked up US 6 in Milford PA. Ate lunch at The Dock on Lake Wallenpaupack, where I got a prime rib cheesesteak.
- Stopped at the Archbald Pothole, which is a natural 42ft wide pothole. Park wasn't well maintained.
- Sheetz Stop #3 - Gas and a smoothie on my brief return to the outskirts of Scranton.
- Viewed the Tunkhannock Viaduct, which was the largest concrete bridge in the world for over half the 20th century.
- Stopped at Wyalusing Rocks, which overlooks the Susquehanna.
- Ate dinner at Oliver's Pub in Towanda, getting Chicken Tuscan Pasta
- Spending the night at the Bradford Inn in Towanda. It is a house that has been into a hotel. Sort of like a bed and breakfast, but without the breakfast. Room is really nice.
Route for the day:
Tomorrow I'll be continuing my journey west on US 6.
