Near PA Mom in North Huntingdon, Westmoreland county. About a half hour or so east of Pgh...maybe 45 minutes...it’s been awhile since I was out that way.

Forgive me but going to Westmoreland county brought back memories. I once drove from the west side..far west...of Pgh to WAY into Westmoreland county in about 25 minutes....should have taken a lot longer but I was young and stupid and driving a car that could easily cruise at over 150 mph...Jaguar XJ6.

That’s also the car I used to take the then future mrs p6 (and other gals!) out on dates. It looked kinda like a Rolls and in 71 it was a chick magnet!

I would take my dates out into this rural area on a dirt road behind a country club to see The Ghost of Country Club Hill. I wrote a story about it.

The cool part was the Jag had 2 gas tanks that read off the same gas guage.

I could start out with one tank full and then when I parked on the back road to watch for The Ghost I would secretly flip the switch to the other, empty tank!

Later I would flip the switch back to the full tank, pretend I didn’t know that happened and get my date home just in time.

Good times, good times...sigh!
