Powdermill

Yesterday I set off for Powdermill in Western Pennsylvania. As I write I'm not quite there yet. I'm in Latrobe, a cutesy old-fashioned town with the distinct air of a retirement community and 2 claims to fame. 1, it's the birthplace of golf legend Arnold Palmer and 2, it was home to the first ever Banana split! So far its been quite a journey so far involving changes in Toronto, Buffalo, Cleveland and Pittsburgh (during the G20 summits and the ensuing riots) and staying up for what seems like more than half the night. However, if what I hear is true then it'll be well worth the effort. Roll on the next 3 weeks.
