The Start of Our Travels

We began our trip on April 30 and drove to Mechanicsburg, PA with 3 stops for fuel on the 460 miles. At that time the price of fuel ranged from $4.01 to $4.23.00. We made a short stop at our daughter's house before heading to TT Hershey where we stayed in the over flow area for the night. By doing this we could assure us of getting into the campground early and finding a decent site. It all worked out as planned and settled in for our 3 week stay. A few days later Jim and Janice Fisher arrived from NC and were with us for almost a week. We made some fun trip together - one of them to the Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, PA. It's the oldest Brewery in the country. Needless to say we had a good time particularly in the pub where we sampled the beers.

Also during our initial stay we made a trip to Frackville, PA to visit with my 2 aunts -- 91 & 93 - and my sister-in-law. These are amazing ladies. Both are very active - one still drives safely everyday.

After the Fishers departed, in came the Dions and Johnstons. They are former Trekkers who are now SOBs Once again we had fun visiting various places in the area. They were here for 5 days before heading back to their home bases -- DE and RI.

After our 3 week stay at TT Hershey, off we went to Intercourse, PA and the Beacon Hill Campground.
