Roadtrip After Chores Are Done ......

Wild Rose Farm Ewes - Sunday Morning As We Left For A Roadtrip ...
After rain last night, the morning started out sunny, so we left the farm for a fall road trip.  We headed up to the Pymatuning State Park  area and did some leaf peeping on the way. 
Spillway Pull Off - Hey! That Old Car Brings Back Memories.
I haven't been to the "Spillway" in Linesville, PA since I was a kid going with my family.  Their claim to fame is being the "place where the ducks walk on the fishes' backs".  
Folks At The New Viewing Area- Kids Throwing Bread To The Seagulls 
There's a great new viewing area complete with educational sign boards and a concession stand, which, of course, was closed for the season ......
But here's the Spillway that I remember. Check out the old concrete & heavy fence railing worn smooth by hundreds of thousands of hands!   I have to say it seemed soooo much bigger too!  :)
The Spillway With Waiting Ducks
You can imagine that this place is pretty packed in the summer.  So here's a couple of views of the ducks & carp when people are throwing out fish food and bread ......
The Waiting Game As People Approach ......
 

Feeding Frenzy - Mallard Gliding By ... Not Enough Bread To Walk On The Fish?!?
After this amusing visit, we headed back home through Amish country in New Wilmington, PA.
