I can tell you almost every foot of the way, from Wilmington, DE to Lancaster, PA, then up the east side of the Susquehanna just before Harrisburg, crossing over to the west side from 322 onto Rte 15 at Clark's Ferry, then up to Selinsgrove. Used to stop for a steak there, then north on 15 again to the bluff overlooking Williamsport, take 10 for the view, then down past the Little League Center and back across to the east side at Williamsport, up north to Mansfield, the over either to Wellsboro or on up to Tioga, then across the Chemung at Corning and on to 17 in New York State over to Steuben and Allegany Counties. That's a long drive, my FRiends.
When I was a kid, we used to get the Grit newspaper, came from Williamsport.
You drove right by my house... on Rt 15 south of Lewisburg, very near the Bucknell University football stadium..
One year in January...20 years or so ago, I was visiting friends in South Carolina. On the way back, I ran into freezing rain. Stayed overnight in Spotsylvania. Everything was closed. Headed to Lancaster the next day. It was horrid. The roads were solid ice. I had reservations at the Super 8 there. I was sitting in my hotel room, and the power went out. I found out that they were doing rolling black-outs because the temps were like -40 outside. Nothing was open. My car wouldn’t start. I had an old VW Jetta at the time. I needed to get on the road as I had broken my wrist and had an appointment to get the cast removed. I called AAA, and told them I needed a jump. The woman told me, we can start your car, but you won’t be going anywhere...Route 81 is closed due to the ice storm and tractor trailers jack-knifing on it. So I was stuck in Lancaster for an extra two days until my car thawed, and they’d finally cleared 81. The only place there was to eat was a restaurant across the street from the hotel. They had no power, so I just had a cold sandwich. That place isn’t there anymore. The last time I was there, and it’s been a very long time, there was a Valero gas station in its place.
