And some aren’t so well maintained. Let’s not talk about bridges.

There are nearly 120,000 miles of public roads in Pennsylvania to care for. It does seem hard to image…

I feel bad we couldn’t explore some of the unique roads and scenery here. You ended up seeing the mundane views — Interstate 80 and worse…

Still, when you tally all the experiences of your trip, you have a hell of a collection of memories…

Still, each has it’s own unique character and as you point out a little fog never hurt a scene.

There are so many roads in rural PA I’m surprised that the state can afford to maintain them all. But it must make for nice riding.

I guess we missed all these roads as we didn’t know where they were. We spent the whole day by the pool waiting for Kissell to squeeze my bike in. Then it was too late for Pistons & Pints as we didn’t want to leave Karen out, as she was back at camp

It would have been nice to see one of your BIG hills
