Connellsville, PA is a historic coal coke town and the hills in the area are littered with old coke ovens. The hills are now overgrown with trees, and it's hard to make out the coke ovens. They just look like black holes behind trees. So, sorry, no crummy pictures of black voids behind trees on a hill.
Now about those Folks-on-Spokes, they get around. They ride about three days a week while everyone is in Gulf Shores over the winter. At this rally, I think they made a trip just about every day we were there and even this morning before everyone left. They've got their own website, and you can see pics here. It's a fairly color coordinated group if you ask me. I kept busy by walking some of the YRT, washing & waxing the trailer, eating ice cream, and walking some dogs while they were gone. The dogs and I had a great time!
Uniontown KOA: This KOA is a really nice campground right on the YRT. They have sites designed specifically for people riding the trail. They have an ice cream shop right on the trail, and the campground's showers, laundry and restrooms are top notch. While the campground is somewhat big-rig friendly, the road to/from the KOA is not. You can get in & out, but you'll be doing what I'll be doing next week - spending an afternoon on a step ladder with scratch remover & wax trying to get rid of as many tree scratches as a I can on both sides of the trailer. If I didn't know better, I'd say the new "in thing" with RV parks this year is to ensure that you drag your trailer through as many tree limbs as you can while you maneuver through their campground to ensure you have plenty of "souvenirs" to remember them by.
Anyway, we 're on our way back to Lagrange, IN to have the truck & trailer serviced. In the mean time, everyone have a great weekend. Later, David
