Problems with AOL

 

This is an antique store/ antique house in Jennerstown PA.   Taken long ago and far away on Route 30.    The drive along Route 30 is very nice and scenic.   The best time of the year would be in the fall.  Somewhere near the middle of PA you ascend a mountain;  you also hope and pray you that when you are on the two lane highway; that you are not behind a large truck or bus.   They  climb the hill about 25 mph. and  it will make you crazy.  It can lead to bad decisions of an otherwise sane mind, to even think and then attempt to pass that truck on the winding road going up at an extreme incline.   I have been sorely tempted to do that but my reasoning has kicked in and told me "forget it."   I honestly think that trucks should be banned from attempting to use this hill.    The rest of the road is mainly flat until you get to Laughlintown, where the road is on a extreme descending grade, the trucks are banned here.  Guess they don't care if they go up, they just prohibit them going  down.   There is the option of going south on 219 and taking the PA Turnpike.   You can also take the PA Turnpike and avoid the mountains all together.

Is anyone else having  trouble with AOL?   It is taking so long to load and stopping and the message comes up "Not Responding"?    It is making me crazy....and very annoying.

Nice picture and description of the road.  When we travel, we try and take off the beaten paths when ever we can.  :o)
