Driving north on 79 out of West Virginia is quite a site and taking the turn east on 68 is even more captivating with the pasturelands of Pennsylvania and Maryland.

• 

And another view..

• 

Then I came across The Casselman Inn of Grantsville, Maryland.

• 

This historic Inn has been around forever. Rooms are available for a meager price in the Inn and having stayed over it is one remarkable and restful experience. They also have a motel round the corner for those enjoying a more modern overnight.

And then there is the gardens..

• 

And of course the food, not to mention the delicious baked goods..

• 

Eaten in a historic setting..

• 

Across the street is a former school which is now a second hand store beyond compare. Also in the building is an amazing fabric and quilt shop.

Then follow the signs to Salisbury past the Mason Dixon line to find a beckoning cow..

• 

which leads you to the Salisbury Cheese Shop..

• 

• 

And further down the road the most fascinating place of all…

• 

Here you can find an array of all kinds of items for the buggy..

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

And you may even come across a wee little Amish gal who keeps looking at you wondering what you are doing there…

• 

Then stop by and say hello to her ride..

• 

As you drive down the road there are farmhouses selling eggs, vegetables, and even honey at great prices. The Whispering Pines Furniture Shop has Amish furniture, a tasty small restaurant, and many other delicacies. Across the street from the Whispering Pines is an Amish farm vegetable stand with authentic baked goods and a variety of soups, jellies, and relishes. Their apple dumplings are the best I’ve ever had.. YUM!

My, how I am going to miss this spot.
