Our first night camp at Reverside View Campground just
downstream from Wysox.
Nice open camping on the grass..

The camp was just across from Rt. 6

I asked Greg to bring a camp stove to heat up
some green beans. This is what I got instead.

It was still cold and rainey as evening set in.

But as promised the weather was sunny and warm the
next morning.

Sunshine is having a sunshine day.

Sometimes we just raft up and float downsteam.

STANDING STONE, "ACHSIN-NINK"
Standing Stone, or "Achsin-Nink," the name given by the
Indians to this remarkable stone which stands in the
Susquehanna River. From its top to the river bed it
measures 44 feet. It is 16 feet wide and four feet
thick. Early settlers told of finding covered with
Indian drawings. In 1779, General John Sullivan and
one-third of the American army marched through Bradford
County. He ordered that a shot from the morning gun be
fired at the stone. This shot blew off the uppermost
corner.
