Sights To See - Road Trips!

Some of the various Road Trips we've taken for  sights to see

I'm based near Watsontown, Pa, along the west branch of the Susquehanna.  I'm notoriously bad at giving directions- no one should ever take directions from me.  I'm more of a landmarks person, than a route number person.  "Turn before the yellow barn"  Or, my families favorite, "it's directly across from Valentine Truckenmiller's tombstone."  Apparently I am the only one who knew where Valentine's, my husbands great great uncles,  tombstone is located...  quite disappointing, really.  :-) 

Anyway, I'm going to attempt to sort these by North, South, East and West from Watsontown PA.  We'll see how that goes.
