A little better than boring!

 

 

Day 11

 

A little better than boring!

 

I'm apologizing for not getting this post in earlier.  Last night was a really late night and this morning we had Internet problems.  So this is for yesterday and today.  Hope you enjoy.

 

So we left Canton bright and early and found our way back on the Lincoln Highway.  We took a scenic by way in Robertsville Ohio and went across several miles of brick road.  I thought it was awesome and Vaughn thought it sucked because it was really uneven and bumpy!

 

 

 

 

 

Then we found ourselves in the cute little town of Minerva Ohio.  This gas station had a perfect advertisement

 

 

And all down the street were these signs

 





 

 

Then we eventually made it into West Virginia and the picture sucks because once again I had to take the picture from the front seat and of course there was a lot of traffic behind us so we couldn't slow down.

 

 

 



 

 

Now in West Virginia there are only 5 miles of Lincoln Highway. And not one thing to take a picture of.  In fact we were out of there so fast I thought we had missed it!

 

 

When we crossed over into Pennsylvania, we saw these boats on the Ohio River.

 

 

 

Then  the road took us to this town and I loved the arch.

 

 

 

After following the Lincoln Highway for a while and hitting lots of traffic and not seeing much to take pictures of, we decided to head north to the place we were going to stay.  We knew we couldn't go anywhere near Gettysburg, since it is the 150th anniversary of the civil war and they are having a lot of activities there. 

 

Soon we arrived in Hawley Pa. where Vaughn has a friend, Tommy Knoblick, from work and they have a cabin here.  So this is where we will be staying for the next 3 days.  The rooms are a kick back from the 60's or so, and they remind me of my days cleaning the good old Moore Motel. 

 

 

 

 

 

So we went to bed and Tommy picked Vaughn up at 3 am to go to the Newark airport to pick up Wade and Sara who had taken the red eye from Salt Lake to stay with us.  Today has been a lazy day and tonight we went to Tommy's cabin and had a clam bake.  Talk about a wonderful BIG meal.  So now we are back at the Tuck-em Inn and getting our rest so tomorrow we can go see Times Square in New York.

 

Stay tuned!
