There is this Power distribution field, (or something, I don't know what it is) on one of my favorite drives. I always though it would be a good spot for a picture.
So today riding by I saw the first gate was open and I ventured in.....
Not as good as I hoped but all I had was my phone for pictures.

Very nice!! I like it!
The power station is a nice backdrop.
Cool background, but where by PGH is it!?
That's a lot flatter than most of PGH!
Nice shots - even with a cell-cam!
Cheers!

What a classic.
Nice ride!

Nice pics! Looks like you are running some pretty big meat in the rear. What size wheel and tire and what did you have to do to make them fit?

So where is that shot taken? .... off what route?
Is it over on the Ohio "Flatlander" side, or where around PGH if on the PA side?
It doesn't look like the Alleghenies to me.

Its off of 136 outside of West Newton.
https://www.google.com/maps/dir//40.2112624...#33;4m1!3e0
South east of PGH, kind of a plateau. bunch of cornfields around there. lots of fun roads in the area, Not tail of the dragon stuff but nice two lane.
There is a covered bridge about 1-2 mile from there I want to stop by and get some pictures one of these days. Bells mills covered bridge

Oh, okay, on the old Greensburg Pike for us old timers!
There's a Tail like road out southwest past Washington, but I'll have to do some looking for that one, also one out west off of old 22 near Bulger, where my Mom's parent/my grandparents lived - but I'll have to do some hunting & mental exercises to find those for you at a later date.
My Grandfather used to take me out on the Bulger area one in his Olds 442s - not 914 type road glue handling, but that never held him back! .... a true "Lead Foot", & passed on to my Mom & I, & my son (Tesla S)!
... it's hereditary!
