Well, here we are in Mentor, Ohio, just east of Cleveland. We left Binghamton, NY in cool weather (probably in the mid 50's) and traveled until about 6:30 tonight in sunshine (about 489 miles). The temperature made it to the upper 60's or there about.
We rode the entire length on route 6 which runs along the very top of Pennsylvania through beautiful countryside. The scenery was mostly mountainous interspersed with farmland in the valleys. The small towns and villages along the way ranged from quaint to poverty stricken. It seems that wherever we traveled there was a rather obvious dicotomy between the "haves" and "have nots". The "good" economy we hear so much about doesn't appear to exist off the beaten tracks of our highways and byways. Ah well, that's the subject for a different post.
It's a shame that the weather we experienced today waited until we were almost home to show itself... this kind of riding weather in the Aderondacks would have made good scenery unbelievable.
The only pictures I have to share, are of the motel at the end of the day. Best Western has some really nice places. This one is more suggestive of a bed and breakfast than a motel.
I believe the three of us are winding down a bit... as great as the experience has been, I think we're all looking forward to our last stop tomorrow..... Home.

Welcome home old friend. Glad you're back safe and sound but will miss your travels. I enjoyed the whole trip, but I didn't get wet.
Screw the typos. Don't change a thing.......unless you decide to write a book, which you should.
