West Virginia - Pennsylvania

Thanks for Steve giving me a birthday trip.

First stop at George Rogers Clark National Historic Site in Indiana. George Rogers Clark looks very heroic. He fought in the American Revolution in the 1770s.
看他很英俊神武,一定要與他合照。

我看到紀念堂内有東方龍的雕品,很是驚訝,問了管理職員:是否原品?

他說:是的。
The memorial was built in the 1930s, at that time, they had a fascination with oriental art. The building had 3 types of marble.

After that we drove to West Virginia State Capitol in Charleston, but it was already closed.

Shenandoah National Park - Hazel Mtn Overlook
The weather was not great, that was a lot of fog. 
The clouds are like tourist groups. They are huge, block everyone's view and stay too long. And the clouds don't even have to pay the entrance fee. But at lease the clouds are quiet. 
We only stopped at a few overlooks that were not in the clouds.


Shenandoah National Park- 
Tunnel Overlook. Waiting for a ride. 
The views from the overlooks are beautiful when the clouds are gone. The ranger at the visitor center said today was the best day for the past 5 days.


Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park


Harpers Ferry National Historical Park 
The park has bus service from the visitor center to the historic site.
There were many locks Iocked to the bridge. How did they put the lock so far out?

Steve's pilgrimage to Lancaster Archery Supply. He is so excited when in the store.


Steve went for another pilgrimage - Hershey's Chocolate World. 


The free tour amused me. We enjoyed the first tour, after shopping, we went for a second time since there was no line. Smile and get your picture at the end of tour, they took our picture.


The bell and lamps were shaped like Hershey Kisses. The amusement park is closed.

While we were going to our next destination, we ran across Catoctin Mountain Park (National Park), and the visitor center is open, I got a stamp.
