Road Trip - September 3, 2010

Our final day on the road was mostly a dash to get home. We stopped at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, but couldn't see much. We also wanted to visit the grave of Vice President George Clinton in Kingston, New York, but it was too dark by then.

Kelly and Tri State Monument

Kelly is almost in three states. This is the Tri States Monument where New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania nearly meet. The actual point is in the middle of the river. To get here you have to drive through Laurel Grove Cemetery in Port Jervis, New York, park under the twin bridges of Interstate 84, and walk down to where the Neversink River joins the Delaware River. We tried to visit the Ohio/Indiana/Michigan tripoint earlier in the trip, but it was raining both times we drove through the area.

After leaving Port Jervis, we had dinner in Kingston, New York at a Sonic Drive-in. We arrived home a couple of hours later after a 15-day journey that covered around 3,000 miles. Time to plan our next trip!
