Road trip: Key west --> New York (East Coast)
Dear Road trippers, I open this thread for my questions.
For this summer holiday we will come to The States.
Our plan is to Drive from Key west tot New york.
1 What is the best time to drive this road trip?
2 when does the east coast high school having there summer holiday?
3. We are looking for interstening places between Orlando and Washington (our intrests: Technology, nature, scuba diving, abandon buildings(urban exploring)).
From Jacksonville - North
Once you make it to Jacksonville the quickest route to WashDC is I-95 which runs through Jacksonville. (You'll probably already be on it since your traveling from Miami.)
in search of Amish village
Where can i find in Pennsylvania a Amish village or town -ship, witch is not a tourist trap?
Pennsylvania Amish Country
I have spent considerable time in the area of southeastern Pennsylvania that is known as 'Amish Country', but I know of no particularly Amish towns. The Amish are by nature and choice a rural people who live mostly on their own farms, not in towns or cities. I think you'd do best to simply explore some of the back roads in the triangular area roughly bounded by Lancaster, Coatesville, and Oxford Pennsylvania. Avoid US-30 which is chock-a-block with "Authentic Amish" experiences which are neither and stick to roads like PA-340, PA-896, PA-472 and the like. If I had to pick any towns which are associated with the Amish more than others, while avoiding being tourist traps, I'd suggest Strasburg and Oxford. And although it is not particularly Amish, Lititz is a charming town in its own right.
