Over 100 Miles Completed

Note: Go to the March archives for the original press release.
Today we are over 100 miles along on our trip back to Ringwood. The milestone feels good. The territory covered today was from Milton (home of Chef Boyardee), through Watsontown to Allentown. We are now following the west branch of the Susquehanna and are enjoying break from all the hills. We’ll be back to that tomorrow.

We have some silly fun along the way as our pictures indicate. It continues to be interesting to follow the historical backgrounds of the places we pass through. There are so many plaques to tell one about the background. Your fact for the day was that we passed Eagle Grange - the location of the first farmers co-operative in Pennsylvania. It was set up after the civil war as a means of driving down prices of supplies for farmers.

Now that you are wiser here is the fun part. Ron made up the sign to mark our 100th mile. We drove back to the sign in the picture because this sign is prettier than the one at our exit end of town.
Ron also notices interesting things. There have been a number of interesting characters decorating barns and houses. When Ron saw the mail box he had to strike a pose.

The other group of pictures show some old farm machinery including the base for a wagon that would have been used in pioneer times.

Today was Good Friday so the traffic was quite quiet. We wish all of you a very Happy Easter.
