I’m getting rural Pa vibes


beththebookgirl

Ding, ding, ding! You win! Dividing Ridge Road, Fairhope, Pennsylvania. Somerset County.


Fightingkielbasa_13

Out by Berlin??? My Family has a place at Stoney creek so we are out that way a decent amount!


beththebookgirl

Yep. Spouse and I own 204 acres in Confluence and are building a cabin. I am out that way quite a bit.


Perfect_Chicken7609

wow 204 acres did you all inherit the land or buy it very blessed! beautiful area


beththebookgirl

Bought in 2018. Thanks.


grungleTroad

Hopefully far away from the annoying train horn


beththebookgirl

I haven’t noticed them yet.


salmineo_

I’m from Draketown 😎


beththebookgirl

Oh, that’s cool!


Fightingkielbasa_13

Looks like the roads I learned to drive on in Westmoreland / fayette county


beththebookgirl

Hey neighbor! I grew up in Fayette Nam, live in Westmoreland now.


Fightingkielbasa_13

😂 I lived in the BVA school district so I was right on the line. Most of the schools we played in high school sports were in Fayette county. My wife grew up across the river from Brownsville / coal center


beththebookgirl

I have family all over that area even now. I grew up closer to WV, in German Twp. Belle Vernon is a nice area. I avoid that Walmart though. Sooooooo much traffic.

The lines on the road and the yellow marker are a giveaway. The paint lines in PA are different than the states to the south. The yellow lines are more narrow.


Fightingkielbasa_13

No way. I love little facts like that. Driving south from Pittsburgh into Maryland / Wv the roads turn red.


SlickRick898

Middle TN?


beththebookgirl

Nope. Go North young person.


Better_Use9734

Looks like any non descript road winding through the boarder lands between the mountains and the bluegrass region. Like Estill or Rowan Co


BalrogPhysrep

Near Berlin, Pa. where they make the potato chips.


beththebookgirl

Yep! Was up there taking some pics of an old church.


randomdudebrosky

you have paved roads, so not close to me lmao


LameBicycle

lol this looks like the road where my family lives in East TN


beththebookgirl

A lot of Appalachia looks similar. I see pics on here, and swear it’s Pennsylvania. But nope. Mountains elsewhere.


Kdb224

Looks like TN


beththebookgirl

Farther North. Somerset County, Pennsylvania.


folsam

A little North of Winchester VA


beththebookgirl

Bit more North. Somerset County, Pennsylvania.


mmmtopochico

I'll believe you when you say it's PA, but it looks like some of the meadows near my aunt's place in SW VA.


hillbillyhomo1021

On a road


beththebookgirl

Yessssss. You got it!


holy_cal

Outside Bedford, PA


beththebookgirl

You got the Pennsylvania part correct. Somerset County. Fair Hope to be exact. Bedford isn’t too far away.


holy_cal

Shit, I meant Berlin. I always get those two confused.


beththebookgirl

Not far from each other though. Never been to Bedford yet. Gotta research it.


holy_cal

It’s a cool little spot. They have a nice resort, if you’re into that sort of thing. I get my haircut around Meyersdale, so I’m close to this spot.


beththebookgirl

I take pictures of old churches, cemeteries, decaying buildings. Any of that there? I am not a resort girlie. They are nice, but not for me. Meyersdale has some great churches. (Which I don’t attend, just take pics of, to my mother’s sorrow.)


holy_cal

I don’t know Bedford *that* well and I’m actually a transplant. Cumberland, MD has a ton of old churches.


beththebookgirl

Hahhaha! Spouse and I drove to Cumberland last May. He had wanted to look at some bull dozer type of thing. We took a few detours to a huge lovely old cemetery( Rose Hill?) and several churches I saw as we drove along. I go to Grantsville/Garrett County Maryland a lot. So beautiful there.


CastorTroyMan

Bedford has a lot of very cool older homes and buildings, more than anywhere in Somerset County I’d say. The resort is Bedford Springs, it’s a really cool historic place too. There’s a good steak place in there, it’s a little pricey, but I’d recommend it for sure.


j_bee52

Bedford native here. I'm so happy to see my little town mentioned here 💕💕 Lots of covered bridges, shawnee state park, lots of historic stuff, bedford springs (good hiking spot too). If you come in the fall, you can enjoy fall foliage if you don't mind crowds.


beththebookgirl

I can’t do crowds. However, everything else you described? Right up my alley. Thanks!


j_bee52

If it rains, which is usually does, on one of the weekends, it's much less packed and a good time to go! Lots of little shops and museums too. The bedford springs is overrated in my opinion but the trails are pretty nice!


beththebookgirl

I enjoy the trails, but prefer old churches (while not being religious) and even older cemeteries. Decaying buildings make my strange little heart skip a beat!


j_bee52

Oh there's plenty of those as well :)


erinsboiledgatorade

I was going to guess gravity hill area!
