Need to make my way back to the abandoned turnpike one of these days. did a camping trip in Shawnee State Park and spent a few hours one of the days checking out the first bit of it. only got to about the first tunnel, then one of the people we were with got too creeped out to continue. plus a thunderstorm hit right about then anyway and we had to bail.

correction, In pic 12, the closed building in front was the old Sheetz store. They moved to the new store. The hotel in back is a Holiday Inn open from 2000.
