    We also stopped by an overlook for Three Mile Island yesterday. 🏷️ 25.05C

    We also visited Clifford Brown Park, an interesting “listening garden” dedicated to the jazz legend. What a fun concept! (see rsjon.es for a video/audio clip). 🏷️ 25.05C

    This morning we dipped down into Delaware to visit three of the schools at the heart of cases that were consolidated into what became the Brown v Board of Education desegregation case (yep it included far more than just Monroe Elemetary in Topeka). 🏷️ 25.05C

    Worlds End State Park 🏷️ 25.05C

    Perhaps the oddest town name sign I’ve ever come across… What exactly is the message here? 🏷️ 25.05C

    A few iphone shots of Adams Falls in Ricketts Glen State Park, best known for its gorge-ous waterfalls—more than 20 of which can be seen on a single loop trail. I could only poke in for a bit given time constraints and the crappy weather, but this was well worth the journey to get there. 🏷️ 25.05C

    Welp, it appears that three unending days of rain is upon me, which will curtail most of the outdoor stuff I had planned today. Oh well, still a few good views to be had, even when it’s unnecessarily wet.

    A scenic view of a lush, green forested valley with mist and clouds drifting among the hills and a river winding through.

    Pennsylvania ain’t too shabby… 🏷️ 25.05C

    While you hear a lot more about its sequel, this here was the OG. 25.05C

    Got #LostNeededDirections along the way. Had originally planned to stop at the venerable Straub, one of the oldest family-run breweries in the country, but it inexplicably closes at 2pm today. Sadly, that’s been par for the course on this road trip. 🏷️ 25.05C

    Spent the morning wandering thru Forest Cathedral, one of the earliest and most influential campaigns to protect old growth forests on private lands, which resulted in the creation of Cook Forest State Park (PA). A lovely walk, should have taken some more photos! 🏷️ 25.05C

    Stopped by this fun little local waterfall today, tucked into a small grotto near a railroad line. Looks like the local church maintains the parking area. 🏷️ 25.05C

    Tonight’s view over the Allegheny River. 🏷️ 25.05C

    It would not surprise anyone that the birthplace homestead of Rachel Carson has a yard like this. Paying homage to an American great. 🏷️25.05C

    A white, two-story house with a porch stands behind a wooden fence, surrounded by a lush green lawn and blooming wildflowers, set against a backdrop of tall trees.

    The dichotomy of the year 2025: tech dude playing around with his high end drone gear midday on a Monday while two seemingly-homeless dudes stretch out and relax on the next benches over. 🏷️ 25.05C

    A person wearing a virtual reality drone headset sits on a bench in a park-like setting.

    At the rapid pace I keep on some of these road trips, esp those that I’m planning on the fly, it’s just impossible to coherently post photos/updates. Every trip I assume that it’ll be different this time—for some unknown reason—and yet…same story. Anyway, I’m seeing lots of fun stuff! 🏷️ 25.05C

    I’ve been traveling pretty fast since landing in Columbus on Sat afternoon. But here’s what my accommodations have looked like so far. While I brought a tent, I’ve just been sleeping in the rental car—which has been quite handy, as I’ve been arriving at camp around midnight. 🏷️ 25.05C

    I believe it 😂 🏷️ 25.05C

    A house with a carport displays a sign reading "MY NEIGHBOR IS A KAREN" in a yard surrounded by greenery.
