CATS GETTING INTO TROUBLE.
Day 231 – Brrr….36 degrees this morning, cloudy. We did find another way to get home rather than taking I-80 east. Since we’d done that route in September, we wanted some new scenery to help with the monotony of the longer drives. An hour shorter & some of it new territory for us & also definitely more scenic, we took I-90 northeast near the Great Lakes for the remainder of Ohio, into Pennsylvania, then we got on I-86 near the New York border just beyond Erie, PA. Interstate 86 goes southeast through that portion of upstate NY which runs above the state of Pennsylvania. It’s called the Southern Tier Expressway. It goes thru Corning, Jamestown, and at Horseheads & Elmira, it becomes NY Route 17. (We’d been to Corning once several years ago when we went to the Corning Museum of Glass while checking out Ithaca, the Finger Lakes, and Cornell University.) Anyway, that stretch in NY, from Erie, PA to Route 17, was new to us. Although the leaves were not on the trees yet, it was a beautiful drive, running along several different rivers, through the Allegheny Hills & Forest, by farmlands, colorful small towns, and across Lake Chautauqua. Fall must be unbelievable here!
