Weekend Ride

The weekend started out at 7 a.m. Saturday as I left for Bugtown with all the camera gear stowed on the front seat of the car. It ended Sunday afternoon around 3 p.m. after having put 225 miles on my motorcyle.

There is something about Bugtown that just keeps drawing me back for more pictures.

After leaving Bugtown I had all good intentions of heading to Lake Glendale but obviously I never made it. St. Bernard's Cemetery in the foreground, Slickport (an old mining town) in the background.

This is beautiful downtown Hastings nestled amongst the ridges of the Allegheny Mountains in the northern part of Cambria County.

Sunday morning I decided to take a short, quick putt to Shankesville and the Flight 93 Crash site commemorating 9/11. That short ride turned out to take 5 hours and covered 225 miles. This barn commemorates the heritage of Route 30, the Lincoln Highway.

This picture depicts the small visitors' area at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shakesville, PA., just off of Route 30. The benches face the actual crash site about 1/4 mile to the front.
