While most of the population went east for Memorial Day, MDP went west. If you are keeping track, the western-most post we’ve had so far was in Hancock. Moving past hancock, the first thing you find on I-68 is Sideling Hill, and the Sideling hill cut. This is the deepest road cut in Maryland. There is a visitor’s center which I almost visited. There were plenty of sites to visit to the west and an apointment to be kept, so the visitor’s center was shelved for the return trip, but the rain kept that from happenening. Just something else to which I can look forward.
Robbie biked over Sideling Hill one day, not once, but twice. It was a powerful lesson about not getting lost on a bike.
And I’ve seen that visitors’ center too and also almost visited it. I-68 is a nice way to get to Pittsburgh until you get to the I-68-I-79 interchange, which is terrifying.
