APPALACHIA TO NEW YORK CITY. (SEP 22)

The story: Having left the Great Lakes at Niagara, we spent a few days heading southeastwards through the northern part of New York State and then into Pennsylvania, the lakeside campsites being replaced by motels and hotels. We drove through the Appalachian mountains, the pine trees eventually giving way to vast, dense deciduous forests and huge areas that remain hunting grounds for the locals. Our route took us along remote backroads many of which resembled scenes from Deliverance or the Walking Dead. On reaching the Susquehanna River, we stopped, first at Harrisburg and then Gettysburg for some sobering lessons in American history. We ended up spending longer in this area than planned, visiting museums and the well-preserved Civil War battle grounds.
