These photos are from my trip to the 2009 State College road meet held April 18, 2009. This page covers Day 3 of the trip, April 18, and photos are from the meet tour as well as various routes in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. The 275 photos are spread out over three pages of thumbnails. Use the arrow buttons in the upper left corner of the page to navigate the thumbnail pages.

Day 3 of this trip and photo tour starts where Day 2 did, at the intersection of PA 150 and I-99/US 220 near Bellefonte.

Remember the railroad photo from the day prior? This day there was a forest fire burning along the railroad track and hillside.

Vehicles were pulling off to get photos of the fire.

I wasn't sure who "Prince Gallitzin" was so I looked it up. He was a Catholic priest who was called "The Apostle of the Alleghenies" and was (and still is) known locally as Prince Gallitzin. See http://www.demetriusgallitzin.org/ for more info. The town of Gallitzin is also named for him. |
