Description :
A slide show devoted mainly to the stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike that was bypassed in 1968 and abandoned for years until the Southern Alleghenies Conservancy purchased it for development as a biking and hiking path. This 10-mile stretch of American transportation history is a treasure to behold. I have plans on May 13th (West Virginia Primaries!) to take my daughter and her friend out to ride our bikes through the Rays Hill Tunnel and to drive on down to the old Cove Valley Service Plaza to look for the old bathroom tile embedded in the grass before riding up to the Sideling Hill Tunnel, then on to the Sideling Hill Travel Plaza for some Starbucks. Good times, good times!
Music in the video is "Light At the End of the Tunnel" by Keith Whitley, both the version from the "Wherever You Are Tonight" CD and Version 2 from the "Demos, Volume 3" compilation.
For a slightly better viewing experience, it is recommended that you add the following sequence of characters to the end of this video's URL in your browser: &fmt=18
