Day 1: Pennsylvania


Welcome to PA. We stopped in at the welcome center just for the hell of it. Little did we know that Lord Penn would spot our return to this dark pit of despair from high atop his mountain of Quaker oats and torment us for the rest of the trip.


The only good thing about Pennsylvania: Lager.


Uncle Hops outside the legendary Yuengling brewery. Right: A Yuengling cameo in Power Hour that nobody really noticed.


Read and learn! Brew Lager in your own home!


Near the brewery, we decide to photograph our steed--the 2003 Toyota Corola. Note the two hubcaps on the drivers side.


As clean and bug-free as Bessie's ever been.


After a failed attempt to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house, we salvaged what we could of the detour by dodging pickup-driving hicks and getting a picture in a town called Normalville.


IT'S NOT A TUMAH!


All along our seemingly endless, rainy, hellish trip through PA, we kept seeing cars wit variations on "Creation or Bust" painted on them, as in the above example. Signs later on revealed that this was some sort of Christian rock festival near Pittsburg, but all the "Honk if you love Jesus" stuff was wasted on our Darwin-emblazoned car. We were, however, thanking God once we left that forsaken state.
 

Next: West Virginia
