Today we woke ready to hit the road, rested and anxious to see new countryside. Joe had done all the maintenance on the car the night before, so all we needed was to gas up and get a bite to eat down the road a bit. By about 10:00 we were really getting hungry and stopped at a Mennonite market, ate breakfast and picked up a bag of Gummy Bears, a requirement for travel in an antique car. We traveled north to Tioga and Potter counties in PA. Both are very rural, and Potter county especially, is known for great hunting, snowmobiling and outdoor recreation of all types.
I saw lots of deer carcasses along the road but only 2 live ones and saw 2 wild turkeys. Wild turkeys are my most favorite of all wildlife with the exception of a little teal bird called an Indigo Bunting. I did see one of those on a car tour last week and will keep my eyes peeled for others.
The weather cooperated for the most part. We did have 4 periods of light rain but they didn't last long and we never had to put the side curtains on. We traveled a combination of back roads and some 4 lane roads but the 4 lane roads had little traffic and people had no trouble passing us.
We spent the night in Youngstown visiting Bob and Judy Clark, friends from many antique car tours. What a treat! We visiting their farm and ate out under the stars by their fire pit. Great fun!
Tomorrow we'll just keep heading down the road and see what the day brings. Joe will give all a technical update tomorrow evening.
LOVE IT!!!!!! blessings!
