Whew! A bit of catchup here and not a hot dog in sight ....

Actually I'll try to bring us up to date on the Great Canadian Adventure so far. Tonight, the  15th of May we are in Olean NY after a couple of not so picture worthy days; but getting here.

We left Bardstown on Saturday after packing up our two light backpacks for the trip.

Then hit the Bluegrass Parkway to the east until Lexington and the horse capitol of the country. Out of there we took I-64 to I-79 to the north toward Weston WV. The total miles from Bardstown to Weston was 336 miles. This was all interstate at about 75 MPH and smooth with 95 and partly cloudy weather. Smooth except for this oddly shaped interstate hookup on the way to Weston ... kinda reminded me of the last colonoscopy ... ooo.

Really nice stay at the Hampton in Weston and then north on I-79 to Morgantown and then right on I-68 until we crossed into Maryland and took a break at this rest stop.

Spectacular view of the water and hills from our vantage point about 2000 feet up. Up here it was about 70 degrees which was a big relief from the last few 90 degree days ...pretty day.

After that we continued east until we got to US 219 and headed north. We wanted to do some slow two lane driving but underestimated the trip time. While a really scenic run up 219 to Olean New York through the poor Appalachian coal country, we didn't get into there until about 4:30 ... well past our normal happy hour stopping point. Long day and very tired.
