On Wednesday, May 11th, we drove from our home in Warren PA to Leeper PA, a distance of approximately 47 miles. Our destination was the Rail 66 Country Trail trailhead.
We parked off Route 66 in the Car Mate parking lot next to the trail.
From the Leeper trailhead we rode our bicycles, south, to Lucinda. The photographs that follow were taken along the trail.

The flag on the barn caught my eye.
DB’s Smokin’ Bar-B-Q is located in Lucinda, along Route 66.
If DB’s Smokin’ Bar-B-Q had been open, we would have eaten lunch there. We have eaten there before, and the food is excellent.
We ate a snack of tuna salad, crackers and fruit at this picnic pavilion.

Former Lucinda Railway Station
We turned around about 1.25 miles south of the Lucinda Railway Station. Bob rode alone back to Leeper.
and waited Bob’s return by car.
This is a video that Bob took with our GoPro7 camera during our bicycle ride.
Total bicycle miles ridden: 8.37 miles.
This was my first time on the Rail 66 Country Trail, whereas Bob rode his bicycle on the northern part of the trail in September 2021. The trail is very well maintained. We plan to return one day soon and ride our bicycles from Lucinda to Marianne and back. We hope to see inside the Lucinda Rail Station at that time as well. On another day we plan to ride the northern part of the trail together.
