RT 30 - Philly to Lancaster

Last Friday Ella Mae and I drove the Rt 30 stretch from Philadelphia to Lancaster. This is the current route which starts in Atlantic City, NJ. Originally the Lincoln Highway (Rt. 30) started in New York City, went through Trenton, NJ then crossed the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. We'll have to do that route some other time.

We tried and split a sandwich from both places. I liked them both

They still run the electric streets cars in parts of Philadelphia.

In a few weeks we plan to drive Rt. 30 from north of Somerset to Ohio which will complete our Lincoln Highway tour for the summer. Stay tuned.
