Dear Dave,
Will she be traveling Route 6 westward??? thru Pa.?? She's welcome to
park here for a rest. Hopefully she's keeping a diary of her adventure. We
are south of Erie, Pa. right on Route 6. if she is using Route 6 across Pa,
there is a book just about attractions on it pub. by Pa. let me know if
this would interest her; I'll send one to you or her.
Any chance of getting your adventure memories reviewed?????
