Matamoras, PA

Photos will come tomorrow because by the time we had supper and walked around our campsite, the good light was gone. However, what we found when we walked around was that we are on the banks of the Delaware River. A lovely park with groomed flower gardens, benches, etc overlook the river which is teeming with hundreds of geese at the moment and Linda from the office assures me you can catch any fish you want to in the river.
We saw where the floodwaters from tropical storm Lee had covered the road right along the river and dumped large trees on the banks of the gardens.
We hope to visit a few historic sites tomorrow if we have time. The Columns is right near here and is the official museum of Pike county. The blood stained flag which was under President Lincoln's head as he lay dying is among the historic exhibits.
There are so many wonderful places to visit in the USA that we could never see them all, but this is an area I would love to revisit.
