[MSCW list] Scenic Drive #3, Fallingwater, PA - June 17, 2017.

[Timothy Metzinger]

This is a requested all day adventure trip!

 

We'll depart the WalMart Supercenter in Winchester, VA  (501 Wal-Mart Dr,
Winchester, VA 22603) at 8:30 AM  (gotta get up early!) and make our way
west along US Highway 50, with a great mix of curves and elevation changes.
In Western Maryland we'll pickup US Highway 219 northbound to join US
Highway 40 westbound.  We'll have an early lunch at the Braddock Inn
(http://www.braddocksinn.com/menu/) before backtracking a bit to Farmington
and heading north, arriving at Fallingwater early enough to make our 1:30
tour time.

 

After the tour, we'll head back to Ohiopyle for a picture by the river (and
maybe a stop for ice cream!), and then head through the Ohiopyle State Park
on Sugar Loaf Road and Mae West Road to Confluence and back to US 40.  At
that point, folks in a hurry can hop on I-68 for a quick ride home.  The
rest of us will follow ALT-40 to Cumberland, then HWY 51 and 9 and 127 to
join US 522 back to Winchester, arriving around 6 PM.
