These are all from the Memorial at Gettysburg, PA
I don't remember learning all the things in History class that I heard today.  I am sure it was presented but not something that stuck with me.
So many young men fighting and dying in three short days.
Beautiful countryside now, I pray our country remembers how we became free.

Max was showing off for the camera.  He was out helping getting a neighbor parked in the camping area of the grounds.

These young folks were greeting new arrivals to the Arena today out on the street so we wouldn't miss the gate.  I think they were having fun with those noodles!

Gettysburg was sobering.  Back at the campground we found Jerry's golf cart was missing.  Thank goodness it was just out to be fitted with headlights.  Guess that means he will be working some nights.
I got more input for the newsletter and a small start on the template.  Oh, I am still nervous about this.  I hope to have a first draft done by mid-day tomorrow to have the folks that have been here before take a look at it to see if I am on the right track.

Oh, and Jerry felt really at home tonight when he came back from making one of his safety rounds.......the smoke detector was going off.  I was burning the garlic toast!  Just like home!!!!!!!
Spaghetti, burnt garlic toast, and I even used the oven to make peanut butter cookies.  At least I didn't burn them.

Night, have a great day!

Hershey

After finding out a bit about our duties here at York for the Rally, we headed off to Hershey!  Here is the entrance to Hershey World.  

The ride through the mock factory was narrated partly by the cows....that provide the MILK in milk chocolate.

More of our talking cows on the ride.

Here we are at the end of the ride.  

Jean Rutter told me to look out for all the Rutter's in PA.  Didn't know they were going to be on every other corner.
Hi!  Bob and Jean.  Happy 80th Bob Rutter.


Our travels today were guided by the new iPhone talking maps program.  DO NOT USE IT TO GUIDE YOUR CAMPING TRAVELS IN THE CAMPERS!  DON'T THROW AWAY THE RAND MCNALLY AND GARMINS.  Not the best in the world.  Really short notice for some turns and not complete directions on which lanes to be in at exits especially in this type of an area.  But it got us to Hershey and back without any really big issues.  It was nice not to have to carry an extra piece of equipment when sightseeing.

Happy Week to all!
We'll keep you updated as we go along.
Maybe the Harley Museum if we are not tied down to working stuff here this afternoon.

This was along I-64 on Friday afternoon.  Not a hint of rain.  Beautiful drive. Gas in Louisville at $3.35:  Sam's at Blankenbaker.

Milton, WV  Our stop for the night.  We were parked just across from this.  Arrived just before dark.  Jerry got the windshield clean after all the bugs we found this afternoon.  We had dinner and I fed the local black and white kitty.  Looked like Snizzlefritz.  Nancy's cat that was wilder than wild.  But finally tamed down....I think.
It just sat out between the campers and cried until I fed it.  It nearly joined us in the camper but was a bit too scared to do that.

This was our $20 spot.  Water and electric.  The campers up on the top level had full hook-ups but we didn't and that was fine.  Who can worry at $20 per night.  I heard the water running in the creek.  Jerry heard the four trains that went by on the other side of the creek.  I guess sleeping with trains running is a learned trait.  Thanks to my  visits to Aunt Hattie's in my younger days, I don't hear the trains unless I don't know they are around.  (She lived very near a busy train track.)

Command central on our trip today, Saturday.  We had rain much of the morning and it was enough that we went a bit slower than normal.  Meaning we arrived at the York PA Expo center at 4:59 p.m.  They still parked us.  Pictures of our camping spot tomorrow.  

Color is beginning to be seen in PA.  At least I think this was PA.  PA, MD, WV, hard to tell...other than it was not raining at the time of the picture.
Our route:  I-64, I-77, I79, I-81, Rt 30, and Rt74 to the Expo Center. 

Here we are in downtown Gettysburg.  We drove though the battlefield areas I think on 30.  But here was like being in Nashville,  IN during October.  Although maybe we moved a bit faster than there.  Driving through roundabouts with the camper was tricky.  I nearly wiped out some pedestrians because they were hidden by the mirror.  Got stopped before I earned any points though...thank goodness.

We have now learned that Jerry is Chairman of the Safety Committee, still don't know what the duties are but know the Co-Chairman so we think all will be good.
I am Chairman and sole person for the Newsletter.
Thought we might get some touring in before the stuff started.  If we do, it looks like Sunday will be the day for that.

Take care.  Hope all is well with everyone.
