The Green Machine's (69 C10) First long-distance Trip - Warning Picture Heavy!
First Stop in VA, at the Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, VA:
Then, on to Gettysburg, PA... We stayed at the Lightner Farm House Bed & Breakfast: The house (was a hospital during the Civil War): Touring the Battlefields: On the way to NY, we stopped at a drive-in Diner, just South of Milton, PA: In NY, at Watkins Glen State Park: The Gorge (this stream falls about 700 ft in a series of cascades, rapids, and pools): At She-Qua-Ga Falls, in Montour Falls, NY: Hit up a local cruise-in at Eldridge Park in Elmira, NY: The return trip to VA was a bit faster as we wanted to beat the rain... so just one picture at a rest stop in Emmitsburg, MD:

Re: The Green Machine's (69 C10) First long-distance Trip - Warning Picture Heavy!
That truck came out great! You need to pop a picture or two in the longbed picture threads going on (I will if you don't). Those are some nice pictures. I recognize every place you show. Took a trip up US15,didya?

Truck looks great and your trip sounds good. You were within a hundred miles of where I live. I like the trip down 15 too.

Re: The Green Machine's (69 C10) First long-distance Trip - Warning Picture Heavy!
It's odd this thread made a come back. Just last evening I was at at a gathering on the farm where I was rebuilding the spring house roof when our epic earthquake hit. I was telling someone about it and mentioned I knew a gal who lived within 8 miles of the epicenter and how it shifted here house on the foundation and threw the chimney out of whack. Then, I thought how I hadn't seen her post for quite some time and wondered about her. I also pictured this green beauty in front of the falls. Borders on freaky. I hope all is well with her and her husband
