Road Trip - Bellefonte, PA; Penn's Cave; Jersey Shore, PA

Road trip to Centre County, PA













Touring around town........

 

Took the walking tour - historic houses


hills: up both sides of the town.




Wandering around the park:









Victorian (and other styles)





A trip to Jersey Shore, PA:
(why is the town called "Jersey Shore" ?. I suspect it's a large joke. It's next to a very large island in the west branch of the Susquehanna River, called "Long Island". So, if you cross the river from Long Island to the mainland, it should be called "Jersey Shore").

Penn's Cave.
(It's a cave - it's dark, not great for pictures).  Cave is 52 degrees, water is 38 degrees. No bats in summer - need to tour in winter to see the bat colony.  According to guide, white-nose bat disease does not affect bats in this cave - too much fresh air circulates.
