My Vacation: Part 1 of 9, July 21, 2009
Jul. 30th, 2009 10:19 pm25th Anniversary Route 6 Trip -- July 21-29, 2009
Notes (Reflections will come later)
July 21, 2009
We knew that the weather forecast for the foreseeable future was not promising -- a lot of clouds, plenty of rain. But we were determined that we would adapt.
We had to make a few stops in Philadelphia before leaving town, but pushed off around 9:30. Because one of those stops was to make a bank deposit, we weren't able to stick completely to plan, which was to go east on Christian Street to Broad Street (aka 611) and thus officially begin out trip a scant six blocks from home. But we picked up Broad Street a little north of City Hall, went out to Doylestown and then north, more or less paralleling the river.
The city fell behind a little north of Doylestown, as the road became more of a country road, sometimes right next to the river and other times a few miles inland. We followed the road to Easton, where we marveled at the town square with its elaborate Civil War monument and bustling shops, and marked it as a potential destination for a day trip or even a weekend with side trips to the scenic Delaware.
