APPALACHIA TRIP DAY 6

Appalachia Trip Day 6

 

348 miles

 

 

Got started at 630 again.  Rain was in the forecast, so I covered my gear and put on my rain suit before I left.  It actually started raining on me 30 minutes down the road.  It never rained hard, but rained off and on about 4 or 5 times I'd guess.  Not a problem at all.

 

Pennsylvania is just so green, as I'd imagined it would be.  Was so cool and peaceful! 

 

Stopped mid morning for breakfast at the Diner 22, right at the side of the road and packed with cars and bikes.  Boy, that his the spot!

 

This is a view from I-99.  Even the interstates are scenic.  Things seem so big!  I spent the majority of my morning ride on interstates, then all afternoon on smaller roads.

 

This is a forested stretch of road on my way to Port Allegany.  Also experienced mountainous stretches and country side stretches.  Not many other cars around, again very peaceful and relaxing.

 

Went through a dozen small towns that looked like this.  Houses are older, but clean and well kept.

 

This is a stretch of road after Port Allegany on my way to Lantz Corners.  It's the classic road shares the valley with a mountain stream and railroad tracks!

 

It stayed cool all day and the rain suit never got hot or uncomfortable.  Covered a few more miles than I had planned, but that's because I made a few wrong turns--the GPS was put away due to rain.  I'd say coming to see Pennsylvania was a good idea.  I look forward to more of it tomorrow.
