We got up early today because Harley's butt was sticking out from the blankets, it was cool for us. We were at Blue knob state park camgrounds which is 3,147 feet above sea level. We all got up to run over to Johnstown flood memorial that happen in 1889 when the dam holding back the largest lake in the U.S.A during that time period broke and ran wild down the valley to Johnstown,Pa.
We then rode over to johnstown inclined plane which is the only car and passanger incline left in the U.S.A. Ate lunch at a restaurant at the top of the hill.Missy and I had dog bones , while gary and norma had some type of people food.What a great view of the city of Johnstown,Pa from the restaurant.
We then went over to Bedford,Pa to a very old town that was brought to this place to show what a town of the 1700 would look like. The buildings were taken apart from where they were bulit in the 1700's and put back togather on this spot.
We were glad to be able to go back to the camper and have dinnerand rest up. Missy and I were very tired afyer the all day trip.
