Day 9 - Getting outta Dodge

I forgot to include a picture of the two dudes that were right above the toilet in the room.  Kind of like they were watching me...a little creepy but then it was the "Old West"..... right!



Today will be a short blog.  I am past most of the National Parks areas I wanted to see and since I'm avoiding museums I am driving primarily just to get to Pennsylvania.  I got away about 8 but had to make a stop at the Post Office and to gas up.  I was riding around town on their brick streets of which there are about 16 miles put down between 1912 and 1925.  I happened across this hot rod truck.  Since there was no traffic I just stopped in the street and took the picture...obviously I should have rolled down the window!

After I left town it was pretty much the same scenery all the way to Pittsburgh KS. 





Somewhere along US 400 I did come across this unusual folk art display on the roadside.   I pulled over to take a photo.  There were hundreds of these things all lined up along the road!



The other exciting events during the trip were the road construction and flaggers.  


Yes, I am right next to another casino tonight but no, I won't be going in!


I went to Chatters restaurant in Pittsburgh to get some dinner.  They had a nice outdoor patio and there was a pleasant breeze to keep you comfortable under the umbrellas.  I spent about an hour there having a turkey sandwich with apple slices and iced tea.


Tomorrow will be a trip of mostly interstate to Hilton Garden Inn in Terre Haute Indiana with the following route:
