Trip Log - Day 5 – (Sat) Pensi Grand Canyon, Pit stop in Lackawaxen, PA

With all of the instability in the weather around us – we certainly have been fortunate. We woke to wet roads this morning windy and partly cloudy - but dry. Much cooler today so we add a few layers and push off early.














With the clouds and sun darting in and out, the views of the fall foliage are wonderful. Although we thought we already passed it we were fortunate to run into a parks service sign directing us to the Pine Creek Gorge (aka the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon). The 20 mile detour is well worth it as we experience more spectacular views. Quite the destination as we park - the place has a a half a dozen bikes parked checking out the Gorge.



























Passing through Troy, NY we decide to stop at the Tamarack Inn (a dive bar and grill) for lunch. The inside looks slightly better than the outside does. The beers were cheap and the food was fair.

Another Kodak moment on route passing through the Allegany Mountains. Warriors Path has an amazing view of the valley and Susquehanna River.

































After last nights late arrival at our stop, we were able to abide to our newly created rule of no driving at night. We head into Lackawaxen for our 2 day stopover around 6pm. Our friends were prepared for our arrival as we toast some dry martinis to the new machine.

The night continues with some hawk throwing and cold Jager (for a change)
