Sites To Help You Find The Unique Places In PA

I wrote a longer post on tips for planning a road trip - using My Maps & Evernote, etc...  but I wanted to keep this list of sites seperate and easier to find.  These are the many sites I follow, and specifically check when planning a roads trip:


My Maps
This is my own, personal, google my map where I "pin" every fun thing I find that I might want to see, do, or experience someday.  Think of it as a better organized pinterest for road trips.  I strongly suggest everyone creates there own - it's an awesome resource!  I explain how here:

Finding Places To Eat

Yelp.  Yelp is my go to when traveling, for finding restaurants.  However, lately I am finding it harder to find the unique places, the diner and dives, among the bigger chains.  Still, I never plan a trip without checking it.

This is a facebook group - it's small, but people post pics of restaurant food in the Susquehanna Valley area.  It's a great way to find new restaurants!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/273861819783441
