We left Cedar Lake on Saturday and traveled across the state on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. To get to the Turnpike we were supposed to pick it up near Carlisle PA. We managed to miss the turn somehow..I'm blaming it on the GPS (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). About 10 miles down a bumpy road we re-evaluated the route. What we learned as we bumped down these very hilly roads is that PA only allows access to this road at certain places. And we couldn't find those places for miles and miles and miles. But hey...we're not on a time table.
The country side along this area is farm land. Farm after farm. Nice to see this. NC sure doesn't have these in our area any more.
Eventually we made it onto the Turnpike. Sad to say the condition of this road wasn't much better than the single lane hilly bumpy roads we'd been on for the previous couple of hours (that may be an overstatement but it seemed longer). We crossed on into Ohio and stopped in Austintown and spent the night at our favorite boondocking stop, a Cracker Barrel. Very good food and nice folks who don't mind that you "rest" in their parking lot. We "rested" until about 9AM on Sunday. Happy Father's Day.
Located next door to the Cracker Barrel, was a resturant named Quaker Steak and Lube. Very snazzy. We didn't go there but many folks seemed to enjoy it(open until 2am).
