An Interlude
Bob took off work Monday and Tuesday. I planned Monday’s activities; Bob was in charge of Tuesday’s activities. As one would expect, Monday was filled with photographic opportunities. I am sharing the fruit of those photographic opportunities with you throughout this week.
We departed home (Warren, PA) around 9:00 am. We didn’t return home until 9 hours later! We drove through several western Pennsylvania counties. Our first stop was in Clarion, PA. Our second stop was at Brady’s Bend Overlook and East Brady. Our third stop was in Parker. Today’s blog post showcases photographs taken while on the road between Parker and Cranberry, where we stopped for lunch.
There was no ice jam on the Allegheny River in Foxburg, PA.
Owl sculpture near the border of Venango and Clarion counties
According to a Weird Pennsylvania article, this owl sculpture sits in a field near a cemetery. I didn’t see a cemetery. I did see a picturesque barn, though.
Barn located across the owl sculpture, along Route 38
I believe this is an Amish barn,
as there were wagon wheels in the snow leading to the barn door.
I like the fancy window at the peak of the roof.
Continuing along Route 38, we saw a most colorful sight.

We ate a late lunch at Bob Evans Restaurant in Cranberry. We each ordered one of the 3-course dinner selections. I chose the Potato-Crusted Flounder entree served with fresh steamed broccoli, a Farmhouse Garden Salad with Ranch Dressing, one slice each Banana Nut Bread and Chocolate Bread and, for dessert, a fresh fruit dish. Bob chose a steak entree (if I remember correctly) served with vegetables, a Farmhouse Garden Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing, two slices of Chocolate Bread and, for dessert, a double chocolate cookie. Bob Evans breads are high in calories and carbohydrates, but they are very delicious!
From Cranberry, we drove to the Kennerdell Scenic Overlook — the subject of my next blog post.
