Temperatures Are Rising!

We left Sylvan Beach this morning, knowing we would have a long day of driving ahead of us.  Our destination today was Harrisburg, PA.  It was a beautiful driving day, and the temperatures were in the low 80's, a welcome change for us, as we have been in the cold for most of our trip! 

We drove through the valley between the Allegheny and Pocono mountain ranges (which are part of the Appalachian Mountain range) on our travels today, and the views were amazing!  I was able to get a few pictures to share, but since we are traveling the interstate, there are not many opportunities to stop and take photos! (These are taken on the run!) We drove through mining communities and beautiful lake communities as well as land designated as State Park property, which offered nature views at its best.  We imagined that these mountain passages could be a bit difficult in the winter, and we were thankful for today's weather even more!

We left Sylvan Beach after covering 6,566 miles, passing through 20 states and viewing 75 lighthouses! It was time to start our long trek home.......... but there is more to come, as we continue our journey South.......stay tuned!
