Please join us for another great spring drive on Saturday May 14.  Hosts Patty and Mark Ramsay have graciously planned an all-day event that will be centered on touring some interesting and historical sites in rural Bedford County, which is east of Pittsburgh. The event will begin with lunch at 11:30 at the Ramsay's home in Windber PA. Register for the event via the club email address to receive the address.

 

Please bring your own lunch; drinks and munchies will be provided.  While enjoying your lunch, Mark will describe the planned events in more detail and explain the significance of the covered bridges in America as well as their designs.  We'll depart the Ramsay home around 1PM and drive east on Route 56 and down the eastern slope of Allegheny Mountain into Bedford County.  

 

We'll first visit the Reynoldsdale Fish Culture Station where hundreds of thousands of trout are raised and stocked in Pennsylvania creeks and streams each spring.  We'll then drive to famous "Gravity Hill", where each car will be able to roll uphill with their car in neutral.  We'll then visit four of Bedford County's 19th Century covered bridges; two of these bridges remain in operation today.  We'll end our event around 4:30PM by gathering at "The Cow" drive-in in Pleasantville for some ice cream or food.  Information on Bedford County activities, including our tour stops, can be found at https://www.visitbedfordcounty.com.
