Still on the Road, Still Winding

As you all know from my "on-the-road" post we spent the first night in North Carolina.  Our second day was spent travelling through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and finally into Ontario, Canada.  Along the way, we encountered more bridges that caught our imagination.

Like this one.  And a few miles up and down the road we found another one.

I was trying to imagine being on the road over the highway and wondering exactly where those roads went to....since on either side was more mountains.  As we drove along congratulating ourselves for taking this new way home, while mentioning that we wouldn't want to be driving there in nasty winter weather, we noticed a sign that said Scenic Overview - 1/4 Mile.

  Hmmm... that sounds good... so we decided to stop.  There was a handy little parking area perched at the edge of a mountain.

Wow - it was so deep that we were nervous going too close to the edge!  But - at the same time - absolutely beautiful.  Just imagine what it would look like here when the fall colours are at their best.  I snapped pictures from all sorts of angles - even across the road.

See our car perched on the edge there?  Hee!  It looks so small there, but it lends perspective.  That high rock face on the right side of the photo is on the opposite side of the highway from the parking area.  After a few minutes, when I was finished taking pictures, Poppa said it was time to head back to the car.  He started out walking along the edge of the slope.

But, after he almost slid off the gravel edge and had to grab the post to regain his balance, he decided to  use a more sensible route.  You can see that the hill is quite steep along this edge.  Fortunately, we made it safely back to the car and hit the road again.  Just before entering Pennsylvania we discovered our last mountain-bound bridge.

Oh yes...one last scenic shot before we reach our destination for that night.  I took this one for Uncle Shaun since he seems to have a predeliction for barns.  I thought this was a very nice speciman.

And finally, much sooner than we expected, we were at our planned stop for the second night on the road.  We actually weren't sure we would get all the way to Niagara Falls on our second night, and were happy to be in Canada again so soon.

While we were travelling towards home, it was Easter for most of the world.  Auntie Colleen and Uncle Shaun were celebrating at their house.  I received this picture of their cake.  Please notice Auntie Colleen's lovely decorations as well!

And, I'll leave you with a clue as to what we did during the weekend just past.
