TS_10 Hop 3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

361 miles via NY 7, I-88, I-81, PA 347, I-380, I-81 (again), PA 309, US 202, PA 772, US 30, PA 283, I-283, I-81 (yet again) and US 22. Cumulative route miles: 776. Auto miles: 373. Cumulative auto miles: 808. The 12 non-route miles were the trip to the casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hop included several stops. First, we stopped for gas in Dunmore PA. We then stopped for cash at an ATM in Wilkes-Barre PA (and got some Frosty treats at the adjacent Wendy’s). The third stop was at a Dollar General to try to return an item we had purchased the day before. The fourth stop was at a quilt shop in Bird in Hand PA. We stopped at the Bird in Hand Family Restaurant with the intention of dining there but found the place overwhelmed with 4 busloads of tourists. We then drove to the hotel and had dinner (sandwiches and soup) in our room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route included a lot of back roads, including some of the curviest up-and-down roads I have ever traveled. This made the trip interesting and kept me awake. It was a long trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marlene LOVED the quilt shop. All of the quilts there were handmade by Amish women. The workmanship was amazing. We didn’t bother to look at prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t dine at the Bird in Hand Family Restaurant<\/a> but at least we got to see the place. It is in a temporary – but very impressive – location due to a fire in its original location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This “temporary” building was an historic one – owned at one time by James Buchanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our home for the one night in Schenectady was the Quality Inn<\/a>. Very nice hotel. Equal in quality to the La Quinta the night before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
