West Chester, Pennsylvania

We stopped in West Chester solely because it was the closest, safest campsite outside of Philadelphia, and there are a lot of stores to work nearby. Turns out, West Chester is absolutely beautiful, and after a week, we still haven't made it to Philadelphia!

We've worked a ton in preparation for NYC and Florida, but with the river and the beautiful farming landscapes, it's been nice!
