My wife and I travel to Western Pennsylvania, to visit family, on various occasions. We have always only traveled on the highways and freeways only seeing the sights from the road. It is time we stopped and explored, at least a little, the country we are traveling through.

We travel from Maryland to the Pittsburgh area. If there is something you think we stop and see please comment below.
