I was down in State College, Pennsylvania this week for work. University Park is an unincorporated community that sits within the borough of State College. Most of Penn State University is in University Park.

We have a monitoring site at Penn State University. I’m suppose to go down twice a year to inspect the site, but usually my schedule only allows for one trip. The site itself is about 7 miles out of town on Pennsylvania Game Commision land. A couple of miles from the site is a shooting range, I drove by it this time, and it’s just bizarre seeing this shooting range with targets set up and people firing their handguns.

State College is the main campus for Penn State. Beaver Stadium is home to the Big Ten Conference Nittany Lions.

This was my ride down. With the government logos on the side of the car and my government passport, it makes for easier border crossings.

But it doesn’t make the lines any shorter.
