First time trying food from Rutters. They put the entire cheeseburger in the microwave after assembling it. Rusty means the lettuce and tomato are warm too. Interesting choice. Their French fries areЧитать далее

Andy and I had subs and buffalo fries at Big Mike's Deli in Forksville Pennsylvania. The food was delicious but man, these subs are big. I am stuffed.
Waking up at the World's End State Park
8 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
I rode to the world's end. Specifically, World's End State Park. It's a beautiful remote part of Pennsylvania so far away from any big cities. On Sunday evening, the campground had few people. It wasЧитать далее

Tunkhannock Viaduct
8 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
The picture doesn't show how high this thing really is. It is way above the town and massive. It's for railroad trains. The view from the engineers cab must be amazing as it crosses. This visitЧитать далее
Great Breakfast
8 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
When you see a business that is decorated in a folk art style instead of some slick marketing ad style, you know it's good country cooking.

Town of Shandaken

Buels Gore
9 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

Dinner at Big Spruce
9 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
Lynn drove four of us to the Big Spruce restaurant where we met Liz & Jose, Reese, Dani & Lester, and others. The fish and chips were delicious and the hard cider was refreshing.

Finally got to the rally site. The Lehigh Valley Beemers has a corner lot with a 20 x 60 tent with three sides. It will be nice when the thunderstorms hit
Laundry

11 июня, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Among the antique bikes riding around the rally grounds is this 90-year-old BMW R12. It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
