to meet, many for the first time, descendants of our ancestors.

An open "bring-your-own" picnic at the state park - lots of room - shaded by the
woods - along Little Pine Creek - below the dam & away from the main-picnic areas for
some privacy.
- A picnic pavilion is reserved, surrounded by lots of room and picnic tables for as many
people that show up!

What else is there to do BEFORE or AFTER I meet all these relatives?
Some people can only socialize for so long, then it gets boring!
(just keep in mind,
that feeling may be mutual! ;-)
- There is a sand beach for swimming above the dam, plus boat rentals. And lots of fishing
(this is fantastic TROUT area!) Hiking trails, too.
Check out the Little Pine State Park
WEB Site for more details.
- You will be in the HEART of the Pennsylvania
Outdoor Recreation area for other camping, fishing, boating, hiking ...
- Here's the PA Fly Fishing web site.
Also, check out the stream

or - at a few commercial campgrounds in the neighborhood.

want to do the 'picnic-lunch thing'!
The picnic area is wheelchair accessible. Automobiles can also be driven right up-to
the picnic pavilion for easy loading and unloading of equipment.
