Strider Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 One thing that has been fairly consistent on this trip is the heat. Not just in the deserts of California, Nevada, Utah(which I expected), but in the fruited plains of the Midwest. Even at 4 in the morning, it is sweltering in Columbus, OH. Sure, the temperature gauge says 76° but the humidity is freaking 87%. The only respite from the heat was being in the Colorado Rockies Tuesday night. I'm drinking water at a rate that would put CJW to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 At a certain point on a trip like this, things happen faster than I have a chance to process and organize into thoughts and post. Yesterday was such a day...all I will say for now is that after the monotony of Kansas and Missouri, Pennsylvania was a delight! What beautiful countryside...the stretch from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg was breathtaking. Just passed Stamford, CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that they embrace the wheel though An exhausted, tired Amish family in Columbus, OH @ 3:26 am.IMG_20130718_032738.jpgIMG_20130718_032854.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppy668 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) On your way back, I highly recommend driving through Bucks County, Pennsylvania, specifically New Hope. 18th century homes and farms sprawled out over rolling hills and hidden in dense forests accompanied by lazy streams that wind up in the Delaware. New Hope has shops, restaurants, bars and is packed full of charm that blends rich European-Renaissance styles with Colonial America moods. One can spend a weekend there and still miss so much!
