We woke today to rain! A cold, drizzly rain. Feeling
optimistic that it would pass, we got breakfast at the hotel and started to get
ready to head out. That’s when the rain got heavier so we had to get on the
rain gear. By this time it was about 9:30. Just down the road about 8 miles at
Saranac Lake, the drizzle stopped! And the roads weren’t even wet, so it was a
very localized Lake Placid rain.
We cruised along for over an hour and took a quick rest
break at a local stop. Since the rain stopped we could start to take pictures
during our route.
Our entire morning was in the Adirondacks area, so the pine
tree smell and mountain views were all around us.
Our lunch stop was a bit before 1pm at the Ohio Tavern
Restaurant in Ohio, NY. We all really liked our meals.
After lunch, the sun was out and we shed our jacket liners
and rain gear. We apparently also went through several countries today: Norway,
Russia and this one.
In some of the small towns we saw nice houses.
The weather continued to improve as the day went on.
We entered Pennsylvania a bit before 6pm and ended our day
at the hotel in Mansfield, PA. Michele mistyped the town in Google and
apparently found another Hampton Inn in a Mansfield somewhere else and thought we
had a few restaurant choices nearby. Not so! The nice guy at the check in
recommended a restaurant about a mile’s hike into town.
The Cast and Crew had improv
theme to it with menu items named after comedians. It was a very small place of
modest appearance but with incredible food! This place even offered an improv meal,
in which the chef can make whatever he wants without you knowing until you get
it. None of us felt that adventurous. Another one of their menu items was a 27 ½
inch pizza! While we were there, someone picked one up to go. The pizza box was
so big, they had to tilt the box to walk out the door!
Our walk back to the hotel was uphill so we burned off a few
calories and looked at the old homes on Main St. in various states of
condition.
Tomorrow is out last day as we make our way home!
