Hyannis to Clearfield, PA: 520 Km Travel distance
BestWestern Plus Accommodations: $102 USD (including taxes)

Today is a travel day and just a whistle stop on the way to Chicago.
I am sure there isn't a straight section of road in all of Pennsylvania. Rolling hills with trees lining the roadside. Pennsylvania is an Amish State, so there was lots of collective farms everywhere we drove through. The trees were still loaded with lots of leaves and in the process of changing colours. I didn't think that we would be seeing the fall colors this late in the season.
