May 8, 2023 Traveling to Pennsylvania

(Note: This blog is picture intensive.  Many of the pictures were taken as we were driving so they may not be super sharp. But the scenery just had to be captured. Notice the topography changes as we traveled– Amazing!)

We woke to cloudy skies, got ourselves and the motorhome together and off we went to the east, past more farms:
