I'm not looking at a map...so is that the river that separates Pennsylvania from Ohio???
Once, coming from VT on N.Y. 80 we turned left at ERIE, PA which as you know is on the Great Lakes, and drove south I guess along a river that separated Pennsylvania and Ohio.......we went a little too far, into West Virginia, came to a mine shaft and operation.....turned around and then followed the KENTUCKY BORDER which is still the OHIO RIVER????? towards Cincinnati.
It was lovely countryside all the way. Enroute home that way, we went through all the Mennonite and Amish countryside. Very very pretty.
When we lived in N.J. we always would take day trips to Lancaster County Pennsylvania to treat our parents to dinner in the Amish restaurants. I noticed the other day that there are quite nice 55+ retirement homes being built.......again, pretty landscapes.
We also used to go to Valley Forge and Gettysburg when younger........
Pennsylvania is a truly beautiful state.
