Philly area to Pittsburgh
We're heading west on 8/5 for a 3 day round trip via
rt. 30 west and I was wondering if there are some must see places out towards Pittsburgh. Good bars....Scenery.....Roads....Food, perhaps. Should be around eight of us. Looking forward to it!
Thanks, Ken

Grew up in Philly area, but it's been a long time since traveled Rt 30.
Google a search for Route 30 or Lincoln Highway..
I do remember some old diners,attractions, why the road go where it does,old toll booths,etc
It does have alot of history
Example: Downingtown Diner ( I believe it's called Chef's Diner now)
81 West Lancaster Avenue
Where Steve Mcqueen battled "The Blob"
A teapot coffee shop (Bedford)
Large Shoe ??
York Harley factory
Gettysburg
Beezewood (classic stop over)
Flight 93 memorial (Shanksville)
Good luck

On rt 30 out of Chambersburg stop at the mountain top bar, they cater to the bikers. and great food. I live about 50 mile west of the bar just off of 30 in the Bedford Pa area. Lots of covered bridges and great riding here couple state parks and lots of places to stay and good food.If you get in the area and have any trouble give me a shout, I have lots of tools and enclosed trailer if you would need a tow. I will pm u my cell Have a safe ride. You can call me when in the area if you need any info .
