The Yawk



Here's a shot of the Youghiogheny River rushing through its gorge in SW Pennsylvania. This is a major rafting river with up to at least class 4 rapids. It's a very comfortable area with lots of forests and wild country, yet a good supply of funky country stores and lodgings. There are hundreds of miles of hiking trails in the area...79 in Ohiopyle SP alone. Also, you can tour Frank Lloyd Wright's signature home, Fallingwater, less than five miles from Ohiopyle. It's very relaxing here, a diverse recreational area a pleasant day trip from Pittsburgh. Lots of campgrounds if you want to stay longer.

To date, I have driven 3216 miles, but none today. The Vehicle remained in its parking spot at the Crowne Plaza while Nancy, a native, navigated us thru the convoluted streets and roads of Pittsburgh and environs. It was a nice break.
