Erie to Morgantown, WV

Another warm day with a bit of wind.  Temperature +- 25⁰C (78⁰F).  Had a good breakfast and then went to the waterfront area known as Dobbins Landing.  It is the hub for travel and trade in Erie.  There were quite a few marinas along this section of lake Erie. 

From there we left the state of Pennsylvania and went into Ohio where we stopped off in Andover at the local Mc Donalds to use their wi-fi (and no, we did not eat anything!!).  We continued through Youngstown and just outside Beaver we went into a serious cloud burst which lasted only about a minute or three.  It was quite strange as it was bright sunshine all around us.   After we crossed the Ohio river we stopped at the Mc Donalds in Beaver to plot our route.  This time, we had something to drink.  At 2:30pm we stopped at a rest area just outside Washington P.A and made some rolls for lunch that we could eat in the car.  These rest areas are so neat, tidy, clean and we certainly felt safe being there.  We then carried on and arrived in Morgantown at about 3:45pm and checked into the Econo-Lodge.  This is a university town as just up the road from our motel, was the West Virginia University and there were just so many young people walking or riding around.  After unpacking we went to a local mall and did some shopping and then bought supper which we had in our hotel room.
