Fort Loudon To East Lancaster, PA - miles 104

Okay, so this is how ethanol is produced and shipped. This is a crazy pic. 

Here's my other buddy using wheels for transportation. Being Amish, no chain and those are hard (non air) wheels!  When you shake a mans hand you get a sent of what they do .... this guy isn't working a keyboard. 

Funny town names, all 3 in a row- Smoketown, Bird-in-hand and Intercourse.

A real treat to ride the back roads of the Amish homes. Observation- Spotless,  organized, well kept, lots of flowers, no utility lines to the homes, kids outside playing. Great place to ride, curved roads with corn on both sides. Little car traffic 😜 Being close to home, this would be a great weekend bicycle road trip.
