Day 11, May
31st, Roundbottom Campground, GAP trail to Pittsburgh, PA. Miles today totaled 48.72 and were fairly
easy miles. This part of the GAP is on
the old Pittsburgh and Lake Erie RR and is wide and smooth. We had some coffee in the campground and headed
down the trail early. We ate breakfast
in West Newton, PA at the Chuck Wagon, a local eatery and bake shop. Dave rated the French Toast to be the best so
far on the trip. We continued on the
trail and passed through Boston and on to McKeesport. The GAP trail has been greatly improved from
McKeesport to Homestead. Wilma crossed another river, the Monogahela, on the way into Pittsburgh. We snacked at
“Eat and Park”, only found in Pittsburgh, and then headed down the trail to the
Holiday Inn. The GAP trail near
Sandcastle Waterpark is still not completed.
Looking forward to a day off. We
had dinner with the sisters Janet and Barb and husbands Paul and Bruce at the Hofbrau Haus german restaurant. A wonderful day and I got "ginger cookies" to take on the next leg of the trip from my favorite younger sister.
