Next stop was the Kinzua Skywalk. The skywalk, located off Route 6 by Mount Jewett, is the remnant of a railroad viaduct originally built in 1882. It was brought down by a tornado in 2003. There is more info and pictures at this link. Boy was it an adventure, especially for Karen. I will tell that story in it's own post. I saw two small oil pumper stations on the way out to the skyway. I expect we might see more as we continue west.
Most of the tanker trucks I have been seeing are related to natural gas drilling. I saw lots of logging trucks as we went through the Allegheny National Forest. Karen said that some of the towns aren't even on the iPhone map. We just went through a very small town called Mead according to the sign on the road but nothing on the iPhone. Guess a town can be too small for Apple.
We stopped in Warren and Karen and Bob had lunch at the Cornerstone. Karen had a chicken lip salad. I didn't think chicken's had lips.
Jay from the inn told us to drive around town to see the lovely homes. We saw several just from Route 6 - very interesting architecture and so well maintained. There's a river that runs through Warren. It is a very pretty town. I could see spending a little time there just hanging out, sniffing around town, meeting local dogs, etc.
Starting in Cambridge Springs I started to see all kinds of old metal bridges. This is the best picture Karen took. It was hard getting a good picture through the windshield in the rain.
We arrived at our Meadville hotel safe and sound. Thank goodness, I need a walk.
