2026 Road Trip - Day 2
Friday, Aug. 14, 2026 - Back in the Heartland of America! With all the stuff I wanted to do, I didn't leave the hotel until 9:30 AM, and checked into the Super 8 in Perrysburg, OH at 7:45 PM:
oh, and did I mention 37 Post Offices in Pennsylvania and Ohio.The first beauty today is French Creek in northwest Pennsylvania:
I was happy to be driving non-Interstates for most of the day, but I was on I-79 South for an hour, and on I-80 West for a couple of hours:
Around 2 PM I stopped a a Roadside Store and got some peaches:
I saw some fun art in Greenville, PA and Fostoria, OH:
The sun is going down at the end of the day:
After 407 miles, I checked into the Super 8 in Perrysburg, OH:
It was fun having a parking space RIGHT OUTSIDE MY ROOM:
Thank you God for this wonderful Adventure Day!
