Jersey Shore, PA to Pittsburg, PA

Day Two began, as every really should, with a jeep ride through the misty morning hills of central Pennsylvania.


We headed to Pittsburg to meet up with our Couchsurfing host, Bruce.  Soon after, all seven of us headed  into the city.  Bruce had some one-hour free passes to kayak on the Allegheny which -- of course -- we did.



Afterwards and on the way to the Carnegie Museum, we encountered a very colorful triceratops.


And . . . "Dippy."

Inside, we explored for nearly two hours.  Despite this, Bruce said that we saw "maybe 10%" of the collection. 

Tomorrow, off to the Cass Scenic Railroad and staying overnight in Charleston, West Virginia.  Get this:  Our Couchsurfing host, Ned, is leaving his apartment key in the mailbox for us.  People who doubt the authentic goodness of others need to try Couchsurfing.
