| Dawn in New Waterford. |
This was our first day in the central time zone, so morning seemed to come early. Getting up "early" was not a big deal. I never want to get up, so no change there, but it was dark. It is amazing the difference light makes. I should be used to it living in Michigan, but it still came as a surprise. As we ate breakfast, the sun peeked through the trees... another beautiful day on the road.

As we approached Pennsylvania, the terrain began to roll. Pennsylvania has a lot of up and down but not much flat. We were told that we would know we were in PA once the road changed. Sliding down a hill, suddenly the road was filled with ruts and cracks. PA must have the same road repair ethic as Michigan. With that said, we had to weave our way through construction on and off all day. The drivers were surprisingly patient as we held them up, slowly pedaling through the alternating lane changes.
Shortly after entering PA we passed a nuclear power plant that we had been able to see since Ohio. I've never seen one up close, and the towers looked huge. The smoke coming out is actually steam. It takes a lot of water to keep the towers cool, something the Japanese knows all to well unfortunately.

That night we stayed at Whispering Pine Family Campground. It had a nice pool that I took advantage of. It was in much better shape than yesterdays digs where less than desirable.
