We drove from New Jersey to Pittsburgh, PA. It was kind of an exhausting ride. It was around 11.30 pm when we reach Pittsburgh. Fortunately still, we had the time to have a ride in Duquesne incline.

Duquesne incline closes at 12.45 am. The ticket price was very reasonable ($2). It elevates to a top of a mountain and allow us to experience a magnificent view of Pittsburgh from the deck. The best time to do this is at night. You can see thousands of lights in the city below.

We didn't have much time to explore the city. We drove around the city next morning but wish we had more time. Pittsburgh is such a beautiful city which is situated in a pit (indeed).

Then we returned to Bloomington, IN via Columbus, OH.

Presque Isle state park is in Pennsylvania, near lake Erie. This is what it looks like.

This curve shaped land has amazing beaches. You can do various activities like kiting, cycling, fishing and jogging there.

We were coming back from Niagara(for the 2nd time) towards Indiana. We just found this park on the GPS and thought to have a look (glad we did). We stopped by a beach named "Mill road beach". It was really beautiful and sunny. We spent about an hour there enjoying and relaxing. Too bad we had to leave the place so soon as we still had to cover a major potion of the journey.
