Say what? Pygme tuning?

Today we drove from Mead, PA to the Linesville Campground in Pymatuning State Park.  This was by no means a straight drive, as we changed our minds mid-afternoon on our route, which had been primarily SW, to a NW direction.

Misty morning

The speed limits around here do not have older cars in mind.   Quite frankly they are often unattainable in our truck, due to the steep and winding grades.  We did find some nice back county roads again and as usual it seems we are often traveling in the opposite direction of the masses.  We win!  We drive for miles and miles without seeing another car, but have seen many of the Amish buggies or ‘evidence’ of their passing.    Lots of farms too, primarily hay and corn fields.

We did stop for parts today, two spare belts and a couple feet of gas line in two different diameters,  just in case.  Gives me little piece of mind though as I am constantly evaluating engine noises and smells on the fly.

Today’s stop was earlier than in the past, Tyler was anxious to get to a campground and I was looking for more time to tweak our accommodations.    I picked up some light blocking shades I will cut down and Velcro over our windows when sleeping.  I also want to figure out where to mount my mechanical temperature sensor.  I have the service manual for the Jeep in the computer, I just need to sift through the data.

First bit of sun all day.

Oh yeah, we saw lots of critters today, Eagles, turkey, several spotted fawns and of course, being in PA, groundhogs.  I doubt we would have seen them on the interstate.
