Today, November 14th, we drove north through Punxsutawney and Dubois to Parker Dam State Park. None of us had ever been there before, and we left very impressed.
It was about an hour and a half drive, including some time on the PA Wilds Elk Scenic Byway; we did not see any elk, but the kids had fun looking for them anyway.
We stopped at the Park Office to pick up some maps. With maps in hand, we went on a driving tour. The dam had a Tornado display - this was neat for me because I can remember stories of my dad chasing after the tornados in his truck (May 31, 1985).

After the driving tour, we headed for the dam. The kids were disappointed we did not try to cross the dam on the slippery rocks, but we drove around the park and came down the railroad tie steps.
It was a great trip, finished off with Jen's hike on the park's Boardwalk. We did not have time to play on the playground because we wanted to go to S.B. Elliott State Park; but we all agreed we want to go back!
