A couple months ago we saw a whole tour bus of Japanese men stopped in front of that farm that sells root beer, across from the winery and they lined up three tiered liked a football team photo in front of the farmers lane. It was classic, we were going to stop and take a picture of the group taking a picture.
The worst part is, there is no other way around Intercourse. No side roads or back roads, either 30 or 322/23, and frankly they aren't that great. The kicker is the ones that only manage 30 -35mph in the 55 zones. Maybe we need to construct tourist lanes, buggy, bike and scooter lanes and local lanes in each direction.

An interesting idea, like a scenic route, where gawking is expected. That would prevent road rage from those who are traveling for other purposes.

even if they had connecting roads around the outskirts of Intercourse that would work well, I guess where they are talking about they could extend the road by May Grant, and connect through from 772 to Harvest road and offer an alternative route other than strictly 340, it really bottlenecks in downtown Intercourse.
on the other hand a little extra time spent going through Intercourse sure beats having to go through Blue Ball

I was sitting at my desk thinking why would someone go through Blue Ball if they were wanting to get through Intercourse when it struck me. Me = dumb. BuffaloBill = Funny Guy. Thanks for the laugh.

It all depends on how your coming.
If I start out on 10 and hit 340 to Lancaster I'm in Intercourse in about 20 minutes. But if I catch 322 I'm in Blue Ball in about 25 minutes and then can either catch 23, or continue to 222.
Either way Intercouse is far better than Blue Ball no matter what.
