Riding back into the city after a nice afternoon bike ride down the bike path. Later on in the afternoon, I rode a ways into the Notch and the Great Allegheny Passage.

Exploring Paw Paw

|

While the Paw Paw Tunnel is really neat and worth while, there isn't an awful lot across the river in the village of Paw Paw. A Dollar General, a Post Office and some houses but not much of a Main Street. But still worth poking around this small town.

House Fire in Cumberland

|

Looks like it was a controlled burn of an old house right on Main Street. You could see the smoke for miles but it's clear from the video that the fire department wasn't trying to put it out just to keep other structures nearby from getting too hot.
