I got the truck out today to go to church. First time out since I put it away since Truckstock. Ran fine today, I still don’t know what causes the intermittent problem.



This is a restaurant/ bakery/ wedding venue a few blocks away from our house.

Rothsville Rd.

Main St. Akron road hazards. In our area these are Mennonite buggy’s. The Amish buggy’s are gray.

Main St. Akron. Up in northern PA we’re called flatlanders. We’re on the eastern edge of the Alleghenies, our valleys are wider.

Thanks Dennis! My old stomping grounds! Akron always had the prettiest girls.

Where is that venue barn?

Zig’s bakery. East Newport Rd. About a mile east of PA 501.

That farm was owned by the Wrigley chewing gum company. They were probably thinking of building a plant here at one time. I believe it was sold in the late 70’s to a developer.

I believe Zig is for Ziegler. He used to own Minnich's Bakery. He married a Minnich girl. I think. I could be wrong....

Not quite through the windshield, but I went to a car show Saturday afternoon in town and Mike brought Clarence.
As I was pulling in, I just happened to find a spot next to them.

Your beautiful state Ross is one of the very last we have yet to visit. The closest we've gotten is the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It's snowing here, and the roads are salted again. Our forecast calls for 6 to 10 inches tonight.

New Mexico is wonderful! I've been from Albuquerque to Colorado Springs on Interstate 25. It's easiest to describe as: everything to the west is Rocky Mountains, everything to the east is Great Plaines. It's truly a unique place.

(Sorry for the poor quality pictures. This was 2007, and one of my first digital cameras.)
