Funny-- I can travel cross country and not get lost.. but just try to get out of PA.
I left around noon today from Potter County, heading towards Landisville Pa where my niece lives. It is real close to Harrisburg, and I have never been there. I got my directions off of Mapquest.com, and for once.. they did me wrong. You'd think that being a native of Pa, this would not be a problem. However, this was a problem because most of the places in PA.. I have not been to.

When I as a kid, my parents rarely traveled. We would go shopping once a year around Christmastime in Olean.. just over the PA border into NY... but that was about it.
So -- I was pretty much clueless today when traveling all over the back country roads. I managed to turn what should have been a 4hr trip... to a 6hr trip.
On the plus side.. I saw lots of pretty countryside, some Amish farms, some pretty quilts hanging on the line, cows, hills, and scenic views.
I finally made it to my niece's house in time to take a shower before supper. .. which was shrimp scampi and broccoli. It was delicious.
Now I am settled in for the night, and watching vintage "Wild Wild West" shows on dvd with the family.
More to come...
