going to Morgantown? try these routes...
------------------------------------------
As most of you know, our alpine family grows all the time. It's always difficult when you move to a new area, so I thought I'd give a few ways to get to Morgantown.

I prefer the Brandonville Pike. It really test your skills as a driver and if your not a pansy driver and know how to whip around the turns it is the fastest way to Motown.

Matt- please be safe driving 'the pike'.
And remember... try to keep all four wheels on the ground!

Dennis S showed me Option 4 twenty years + ago plus he added a touch of Elliotsville Road ending at the Summit Hotel above Uniontown... that road needs to be moved to Kennywood... some time ago, we had a discussion regarding places to go in the general area... anyone who has not been to the Summit Hotel for a look around should treat themselves to a visit... try the crabcakes!
