On
the
Indiana
border,
and
soon
over
into
Ohio,
coursing
across
to
increased
relief,
across the
River briefly
into
West
Virginia,
then
back
to
old
Pennsylvania --
the
Turnpike,
roller-
coastering
and
eventually
vaulting
above
and
tunnelling
through
the
Alleghenies,
downslope
amidst
the
sinuous
Ridge-
and-
Valley
System:
Rays
and
Sidling
Hills,
a
plaza
stop
and
on
to
Tuscarora
and
Kittatinny /
Blue
Mountains,
the
great
expanse
towards
the
Susquehanna,
more
intimate
ups-and-downs
to
Downington /
Exton,
202 South, Baltimore Pike,
and ultimately to
Bette and
George's: a wonderful rendezvous, dinner chez lui,
settling
into
accomodations, matters hilarious and practical, with more relatives arriving late.
High Richmond (Indiana) 80, Concord (Pennsylvania) 83, back home 87 -- on the 67th day of summer...
