South of 23 outside Morgantown
After two decades of running the turnpike from Valley Forge to Morgantown to get to my remodeling jobs in and around Wayne, I decided to get off at Route 100 and take the back roads. One of my discoveries was Nantmeal and the surrounding townships. Yesterday my oldest daughter and I took a meandering drive for about two hours talking and exploring the back roads of Chester County.
West Nantmeal Township
Saw this epic long-horned shaggy steer in West Nantmeal Township
Drove in a dead-end lane (Drake Road) I have been curious about for years, this picture does not do the sight we saw justice, I need to learn how to capture a valley more dramatically.
Cool duck on a little pond along James Mill Road.
Along Nantmeal Road, I love the old stone walls and barns all along this narrow road.
Stone columns, there are a number of barns in the area that have these round columns supporting the overhang of the fore-bay. This barn is on the edge of the village of Nantmeal.
We passed this Amish Volleyball game outside of Honeybrook on our way home.
It was a joyful afternoon, sharing one of my favorite drives with my daughter, discussing her life, and making some new discoveries along the way. A Sabbath day rest.

Love those hinges on the barn doors – and the deep beads on the tongue and groove boards. Glad to see some respect for these old barns.
