The rolling hills give the feeling of, what's around the next bend, that is so lacking in flat North Texas.<br /><br />I'm coming back to PA this summer for Historicon. I'm flying in to Philly and driving to Valley Forge. I hope to have the same experience.leadjunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315365767527043985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-33949749044972497872010-02-05T16:40:23.651-05:002010-02-05T16:40:23.651-05:00It is a nice drive.

You pass them going up the inclines and then they blow by you at supersonic speeds on the way down.<br /><br />I used to live in State College for five years before moving to the Harrisburg/Lancaster area.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786312855250456688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-6370242928988559382010-02-05T09:05:31.004-05:002010-02-05T09:05:31.004-05:00Hey Bat,

I remember the long hikes and camping expeditions my brothers and I took to explore the hills and valleys hidden away in the backwoods. I'd always come home and fill up sketchbooks with ideas for my drawings.<br /><br />pmullenpmullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930946936140441937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-83428188212917418862010-02-05T08:09:39.851-05:002010-02-05T08:09:39.851-05:00What a pity!

Personally, being of a more practical nature and having driven the same strech of winding superhighway with a shear drop next to the shoulder, I understand why PA kept the speed limit at 55 for longer than the adjoining states.imredavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791259426241403181noreply@blogger.com
