I have to laugh at you comments regarding the PA Turnpike. I'm a life-long resident of PA and one thing that I know for sure is that the Turnpike is a cash cow. It is self supporting with respect to the users paying for that road. I too am dismayed when I use it even for short distances and what is costs. I avoid it if possible but am glad to pay if it is an alternate route around a major backup on the other interstate roads. The latest thing with the PA Turnpike is that the Commonwealth of PA is considering selling or leasing the Turnpike to private enterprise for the fast cash the can get to meet today's overspending on everything else. Pretty soon we will have Starbucks Kiosks in the State Capital Dome in order to turn a buck. All of us have to live on what we earn but not government.
Sounds like you had a great and memorable trip. I'm jealous of your magnificent road trip!
