Day 2: Stewartsville, NJ --> Kutztown, PA: 41 miles.
Lodging at the Pine Hill RV Park, courtesty of Mrs. Pam Hasse, owner.

An easy ride in, with time to putter around Pitt and peruse the sights, prior to meeting my associate, Ms. Goe, and her truck 'o' boxes.

Glad to have it all plotted out. Now to check the roads in between each site
