September 27 of to see Rich and Sue!!!!!!

It turned out the Mifflinburg Hotel was a great find!!!!!  reminded us of the old west.  had great dinner at the Scarlet D and good nights sleep. 

We turned off the trail yesterday before the end, so we went back and finished it!!!!!!

We were thinking of our son David, and maybe a new venture....heh, heh, heh.......

corn with mountain in background....seems to be a theme

One thing about this area is the Amish use their buggies on the road and this sections has WIDE shoulders.  Of course the horse lane is chewed up a bit, and lots of road apples, but I'm not complaining.

Somebodies house...not mine

Then there was this really really big up hill

with a funny name campground at the top :>)

Well almost the top

But she's happy so life is good.  Actually, long grade, but not too steep very doable.  First gear and crank!

We stopped for lunch (ice crème) and up drove this customer.  Guess he wanted ice crème too..

Cool rock cut

 

Sorry, but to inform, no more pictures today.  My bike's rear shifter went KAPUT!!!!!  So I adjusted the rear derailleur for first gear for the hills and off we went (I couldn't pedal much faster than 11mph but what the hay).  Fortunately we were only 12 miles out.

 

We arrived in State College (yes for you non-PA people that is the name of a city and it is home of Penn State).  When Barb was about 8 she attended YMCA Camp Soles for the first time.  Sue was her counselor.  Later in the story Sue met Rich at camp and they started their relationship that continues today.  They are still very active at Camp Soles, in fact I met them a few years back when Barb and I spent a "working vacation" at the camp.  So, we didn't just get to State College, we got to Rich and Sue's for a nice visit......but that is for another day ;>)
