The car was covered in frozen rain this morning as we drove out of Columbus. It had been snowing so it was very petty. Today the first part of the day was lots of farmland and dairy farms. The roads were much better and the traffic too. The road atlas showed how close we were to Cleveland, and Lake Erie, so not that far from the Canadian border.
After that, we saw our first sign for New York City (348 miles). We will, however, go north again before then.
It wasn't long before we crossed into Pennsylvania.
Lunch was the best (and healthiest) pitstop on our route at the Station 101 Pub and Kitchen. Dick was able to have a taste of the local beer and I drove the rest of the way. By now the landscape was rolling hills and trees as we crossed what I had imagined the Pennsylvania landscape to be. It doesn't look so good out of a car window with my phone though, so sorry, no photos.
We made really good time and so reached the hotel by 4.00 pm. As is our habit, we found a really pretty walking trail and walked into the local town of Danville with Dottie. The return trip ended up being over 5 miles so we were all tired by the time we got back, but it is our last night in a hotel :).
We've now driven 3248 miles.
