Today is the last night of our 2021 marathon USA land voyage.
Today we traveled from Canton Ohio to State College, PA. On the way we stopped on Altoona to see the horseshoe curve of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Built in the 1890's it is still used. The Norfolk. southern uses it and we watched a train climb the hill and twist around the bend. It is quite a climb to the visitor viewing area and a nice museum is also there. All in all a nice diversion.
Sam lived in State College for several years and of course Penn State is here. We enjoyed a nice trip down memory lane.
We had planned th visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, but at the last minute found it is closed on Wednesday and Sold Out for several more days. So we postponed that visit. Something to look forward for next time.
