        SIGHTS SELDOM SEEN!

    My wife and I prefer to travel so
called secondary roads when we're out
for a drive. If you take the time to look
or even stop there are a lot of interesting
things to see.
      Our Saturday began with a ride to
what we thought was our grandson's
soccer game. Turns out there was no
game. But, just around the block, we
found a neighborhood yard sale. My
wife found several puzzles at bargain
prices.
       When the sun came out the top
came down and we were on the road
again. First stop a Flea Market at
Blakeslee where my wife found....yep,
a puzzle!
        Next stop a short walk along the
Lehigh Gorge Park from an area near
White Haven known as the Tannery.
We might have walked a bit futher
but heavy bicycle traffic and a little
fatigue prompted a decision to drive
on. So we did. To Weatherly.
          There's a community park there
that reminds one of a small New
England town. There's a snack shop,
playground, and a beautiful vintage
Band Shell which still serves as the
stage for a concert every now and then.
           Unfortunately the swimming
lake fell victim to flood damage a few
weeks ago. It's been drained for
cleaning but local swimmers will have
to wait till next season.
             The rains returned as we left
so the top went up as we negotiated
the Weatherly Hill Climb road
then turned onto Buck Mountain
where "the haunted couch" still rests
along roadside waiting for unaware
travelers to test it's deadly curse by
sitting on it three times! I have
determined that the curse is real. If
one sits on the stone sofa three times
they will unquestionably die. Of
course the curse doesn't say when!
             So many sights seldom seen
but worth a look. Hope you do, and
that all your NEWS is good!
