Time Well Spent–The Back Road From Lehigh University
What to do on a beautiful Saturday during the long Labor Day weekend? We quickly settled the “dilemma”, choosing a drive to the Lehigh Valley, and a walk on the campus of Lehigh University in Bethlehem PA, Mike’s alma mater. With the luxury of time, we headed out for the day, planning to drive Interstate-78… Continue reading Time Well Spent–The Back Road From Lehigh University
The Drive to Myrtle: Heading Home
Daily life is, in general, pretty mundane. Ask the average adult what they were doing in June of 1998, and you’ll likely be met with blank stares, occasional chin-scratching, and something that sounds a lot like “Uuuhhhhhh….” Even vacation, though certainly more interesting and often more exciting than everyday life, still often falls short of… Continue reading The Drive to Myrtle: Heading Home

One final caveat – I’ve been proclaiming this… Continue reading 528 to Foxburg
Post-Turkey Travel – US Route 30
The trip home after Thanksgiving was a bit of an experiment. It was the first time we had an opportunity to test whether taking back roads is truly a viable option for four-wheeled travelers, or if it’s strictly something that will appeal to bikers. Heading east on Wednesday, taking back roads wasn’t really an option: even though… Continue reading Post-Turkey Travel – US Route 30
