Today started off a little on the chilly side.  It was overcast and the wind added an extra chill to the ride.  We had a cup of coffee at Tea Table Lookout at Letchworth State Park before heading out – one more last look at “The Grand Canyon of the East.”

We found some beautiful roads through the Allegheny National Forest and Amish Country. We saw lots of signs warning of Amish horse and buggy areas but did not see one anywhere.  I was a little disappointed but the farms and scenery certainly well made up for it.  The Amish have the most beautiful rolling farmland I have ever seen.  At one point we were at 698 M above sea level, our highest point riding our motorcycles . . . so, far, that is.

One thing we did see lots of was gun stores.  Every little town seemed to have one.     They seem to like to combine gun sales with some other commercial venture, sometimes related like “Dogs ‘n Guns” (if you are a hunter) and sometimes completely unrelated like “Pools and Guns.”   We did not think we would see stores like this until we hit Texas!

Being of Dutch ancestory, I had to stop at The Dutch Pantry for lunch in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.  Pretty good food and free wifi that allowed us to post our first blog entry.

Our next stop was Jennerstown, Pennsylvania for a photo opportunity.  My family knows why I think this town is my town – my nickname was Jenner for a long time.  The sky photo was supposed to be Jeremy and I in Jennerstown, but the camera fell over just a little too early.

After visiting my town, Jeremy and I took some more beautiful “take your breath away” back country roads to Morgantown, West Virginia, heading for Sand Springs Campground.  We pulled in just before 7:00 PM and, luckily, there were plenty of sites for tenting available.  Actually, all the tent sites were available.  I guess “primitive” camping is getting less and less popular.
