First long road-trip done! Final destination Toronto.
Home (DC) - Hancock (MD) - Warfordsburg (PA) - 100 miles
We (myself, Alastair and my friend Åsa, visiting from Sweden) set off Thursday evening in a very nice rental car - Thursday upgrade special. The route went out of DC through Maryland on I-270 and I-70 towards rural Pennsylvania. Just before the border we found a nice bar / restaurant near Hancock for dinner, which really looked the part - Jimmy Joy's Log Cabin Inn (I can't past a link as they have no website) - Food was OK, huge portions as expected, but friendly service and a pleasant "rural bar" atmosphere.
After dinner we went off to find a motel. I would not recommend Hancock for that. The choice was pretty grim. The only real motel (a Super 8) only had smoking rooms, and although we were really tired the smell of stale smoke was just too much, so back out on I-70 continuing north for 30 mins or so. There we found an abandoned town with a basic Days Inn. There was nothing else, just a boarded up gas station and a closed restaurant stating "God Bless America". Assume he missed Warfordsburg!
