Surprises in PA,
By SUSAN (Pa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weekend Getaways in Pennsylvania (Paperback)
I wanted to find some close places to take my family. This book provides some great ideas about places in my home state I had never thought about. We have a trip to Coudersport planned. The book is well written and easy to use. I've given it to several friends who also enjoyed using it.
