We are in Delaware! Camped at Lums Pond State Park near Bear, DE. We pulled into this lovely park late this afternoon in time to do a little hiking. Lums Pond is the largest freshwater lake in the state, created in the early 1800’s by damming St. Georges Creek to power a sawmill and to fill the locks of the nearby Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. For dinner we heated up leftovers for crab omelet sandwiches and discovered that cocktail sauce is great with crab omelet! Then around sunset we headed out for another short hike. We found two nearby caches by flashlight! This first day of Autumn is the best day we’ve had on or Fitbits in a while, we’ve walked nearly seven miles today!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
