Plains, Trains, and Automobiles + A Bunch of Waterfalls: 5/18

For the first day of my trip, I made my way up to Scranton with a bunch of stops in between.

  • Stopped at the PA Welcome Center on I-83 to get some info. Walked away with about 3 dozen pamphlets.
  • Made my first of probably many stops at the greatest gas station/convenience store ever: Sheetz. Got a Walker Breakfast Ranger for breakfast north of Harrisburg.

The Chuck Norris of breakfast food.
  • Drove up to Lock Haven and went to the Piper Aviation Museum. Saw about a dozen planes from the 1940s-1980s.
Planes
  • Went to Williamsport. First stopped at the Peter Herdic Transportation Museum, which supposedly has one of only two restored Pullman cars in the US.
Trains
  • Went across the street to the Taber Historical Museum. Amongst other things, they have an incredibly large collection of model trains.
More Trains
  • Sheetz Stop 2: Gas in Williamsport
  • Went to Eagle's Mere Air and Auto Museum. The aviation part was interesting, focusing on 1910's and 20s planes. The real star, though, was the the auto portion, with dozens of classic cars, heavily focusing on Chevy's.
Automobiles (Mostly Chevy's)
  • Got a cheeseburger and fries at Country Friends Cafe in Muncy Valley.
  • Went to Ricketts Glen State Park. Has nearly 3 dozen waterfalls over 15'. One is nearly 100'. Highly recommended.
The picture really doesn't do it justice. The waterfall is really high.
  • Arrived in Scranton, staying at the Four Points. Watched NASCAR race.
Route for the day


On Sunday, I'll do stuff around Scranton for the day.
