PA - Iconic / Quirky - Places

[frekeyguy]

Wondering what the Iconic / Quirky places to visit in PA would be?

Hot Springs? Over looks? suspension bridges?

Scranton, but its a dump.

hyner view sp?? is cool nice vista, and people jumping off with parachutes. Great road getting up the mountain.

Its in the Renovo area.

If you're into post-apocalyptic, go visit Centralia PA.

Try Renovo if you want to see poverty in small town.

Intercourse.

+1 for Centralia. It's pretty creepy and amazian all at the same time. Then ride southwest for a half hr to a town called Ravine, and jump on Rt125 and head north on it.... for the best road I have yet to find in PA.

Emporium, cant forget the time when we were approached by pregnant junkie with a needle still sticking off her arm asking us if my name is Jesus and my friend's name is Mohamed (she was correct), anyway its in 120 and near 555- great place to view Elk around Fall.

+ 1 on Centralia and 125 add to that a crossing of Susquehanna river using the millersbug ferry http://www.millersburg.com/attractions/ferry.html

I can say Hershey PA is iconic.

Zippo Lighter Museum in Bradford, PA. Go there for the roads, not the museum

Collapsed railway bridge - pretty spectacular - was the highest in the world when built and a tornado took it down a few years back when it was being refurbished.....mother natures fury big time. Worth the look.

There is also the east coast version of the Grand Cnayon in PA, not far from Centralia. A bit north and just off of #6.

what the city called? or what route from centralia would i go to get there? and again and takers soon?

[omnivore]

Centralia would be 8+ hrs from the GTA..one way once you factor in food, gas, border crossing etc. You would be really hard pressed to see it and get home in a day. And the PA grand canyon isn't a bit north..it'salmost another half day's ride.

I suggest:

Then head south another 45 mins to Ravine. Jump on 125 and head north as far as you can on it. Then make your way home however you choose.
