We are on our way to Niagara Falls. This has posed a challenge for me. I need to find the best route up and over the Allegheny Mountains. We are in a little town near Penn State College called Spring Mills. I mapped out two routes and couldn’t decide which to take. I took my map a couple of sites over to some locals and they set me straight. Thank goodness for locals. I will take the “Truckers Route”. This is less windy and hopefully less steep. It makes sense. Just before pulling into this campground we climbed a nice looong steep hill. It had me down to 3rd gear and 45 MPH but the Workhorse didn’t flinch. It will be interesting to see what kind of mileage I get going over the mountains since the last leg of the trip I averaged 9.8 MPG (I am real happy about that). We will be making one more stop before arriving in Niagara. Once in Niagara we will stay put for a few days.
The campground we are in is nice. I think we are the only motorhome here. All the rest are trailers and most are permanents, although their places are neat. I wasn’t going to setup the satellite dish just for one night but I had a clear shot of the southern sky and their cable is just hooked to a TV antenna and only picks up about 3 channels. I had the dish set up in a matter of minutes. I needed to set it up anyway because it has been a while since I last set it up and the receiver will shut you out if it hasn’t received a signal for a while.
