Thursday, August 18, 2016: West Virginia to Pennsylvania

Well, it rained off and on all night long.  We love the sound of rain on the RV roof, but this was unwelcome as the golf course was cartpath only.  We again had unreliable phone service, but just a few miles down the road we found Verizon!  So, I called Jill, and we made plans to visit them, arriving Saturday.  My substitute golf plans for the day were to visit Fort Necessity where George Washington achieved his first military honor at the start of the French and Indian War to be followed by a visit to two of the Frank Lloyd Wright houses southeast of Pittsburgh.  We decided that since we still had 500 miles to go to get to Jill and Gord's, we would just visit Wright's Falling Water and skip the other stops.  Over hill and dale again on twisty steep roads landed us there around 10:30, but for some reason, their tours were not going to be available until 2:30.  VERY Disappointed.  Okay, so that gets added to the future To Do List, too!

We let Garmin choose the route and we eventually found the interstate after spending a ridiculous amount of time on what appeared to be one-lane roads.  We drove northwest, skirting Pittsburgh and stopped at a nice campground just south of Erie, Pennsylvania with EVERYTHING!  Electricity, phone service, internet and even cable TV.  We are enjoying civilization again!  And on top of that, the weather is dry, sunny and in the high 70's -- perfect!

This will probably be our last post for this trip as we will be visiting with family and friends in Canada, New York and New Jersey.   Enjoy the rest of your summer.
