Family Week, Day 1

The Pinnacle Overlook in Holtwood, PA one of the most stunning views I have seen in the greater Delaware and Susquehanna Watersheds. This lake was created by the creation of the first hydroelectric dam on the river. I saw one fishing boat go around the wooded island while my family and I were eating a late lunch at the picnic tables. We should have gotten lunch here, in the heart of downtown Lancaster, this is about thirty minutes north of the Pinnacle overlook and a great place to get fixings for your picnic. We brought food from home since I couldn't remember what the make up of the stores was like. The Central market has a good mix of raw ingredients and prepared food. They have charcoal grills at the Overlook too so you can get really fancy if you want. Lots of good shopping in the immediate vicinity.

New Castle County Delaware Dam Removal

This is a video I took at biddle point, it took about half hour to film, most of it was waiting for something to happen. It also proved to me that to get this shot I really need a camera more sophisticated than a galaxy note 4 cell phone to get a nice video of the sunset. Which neatly brings me to the desire portion of the title, I would love a decent point and
