As we have traveled through the Harrisburg PA area many times we've commented that we needed to visit one of these days. Hershey is a legendary chocolate company, a community, and an amusement park. Our personal interest was in the origins of the chocolates that...
Although it doesn't look like much from the exterior, our visit to Roadside America Miniature Village near Shartlesville, Pennsylvania, truly was a visit into wonderland. This magical place is so much more than one miniature village, it's a vast collection of...
Today was a good day for just hunkering down and waiting out the storm. We felt bad for folks who'd been looking forward to their Labor Day Weekend camping trip only to have it turn soggy but for us it was a good day to work on computer based projects, get laundry...
This morning we were breaking camp and heading into Gettysburg for a ranger talk so we postponed our traditional September 1st breakfast. Now the 400 is parked alongside Swatara Creek on Site 40 at the Jonestown/Hershey KOA for a three night Labor Day weekend stay and...
This morning we broke camp and pulled the trailer into Gettysburg and along Confederate Avenue. First we stopped at an artillery position and spent some time chatting with a Confederate costumed interpreter before heading to the Gouverneur Warren monument on Little...
The oldest house in Gettysburg, Dobbin House was built in 1776. It's as old as the Declaration of Independence. Today it is Dobbin House Tavern where one can enjoy fine dining in candlelit elegance. Beth served us a sumptuous prime rib dinner at Table 44 in the...
Gettysburg National Military Park was a stop on our American Bicentennial vacation (a year early) in 1975 and our American Presidents and Civil War Battlefields trip in 2009. So this time when we arrived at the Information Desk, we knew we wanted something other than...
Granite Hill Camping Resort is just a few miles outside Gettysburg and we're on Site 35 off in a corner all by ourselves for the next two nights before the Labor Day weekend begins, the last big camping weekend at the end of summer. Tonight is grill night. We brought...
Now we know that the Pickerel Point Campground in Promised Land State Park is gorgeous. It's crowded with families this late summer weekend but looks like a great place to park our T@B on subsequent trips. The mix of walk-in tent sites and RV sites would make it a...
We're in the Poconos, a region we've never before explored. We thought we'd go for a drive to get a feel for the area and also do a WalMart stop. We chose the Greentown Road, hardly discernible on the Maps app, as our route from the northern part of the state park to...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
