We continue our stay at Thousand Trails Hershey. Yesterday was a special day for Audrey - Mother's Day. She had very nice phone calls from Cindy (in AZ) and Dawn in NC) and had a light lunch with Denise in Mechanicsburg, PA. Later we took our bikes and rode the rails/trails beginning at the Colebrook Trailhead. Audrey rode most of the trail while I rode on the road to Cornwall Furnace.
The picture on the right shows our grandson, Connor (on left) holding a handful of money. He entered a Guitar Hero contest at the car show in Carlisle, PA on Satu
rday and won first prize. He is really good with Guitar Hero. The winnings put $800 dollars in his pocket. Second prize was $200. Needless to say, we are seeking a loan from Connor.Earlier I spent time updating the WY&CC website - a site I maintain to keep me busy. Board of Director elections are coming soon and the membership can get details of the election via the website. Beyond that who knows what today will bring. We hope to ride the bikes later after a trip to Palmyra if the weather cooperates.
Tuesday/Wednesday, May 12-13
Tuesday was Root's Market day - a place that's just a fun trip. Lots of great Lancaster & Lebanon county produce and meats. Yes, the flea market is a fun experience too. After the trip to the market, it was time to get the bikes on the road and trail. Audrey hit the trail and I rode the roads near the campground. The pictures of the goats were taken as I rode the recumbent past a local farm. Audrey says she'd like to adopt the white-faced one.
Thursday/Friday/Saturday, May 14, 15, & 17
Thursday was a fun day as we met our daughter Denise and headed to Frackville to have lunch with my two 90+ year old aunts at Cracker Barrel . Joining us was my cousin, my sister-in-law and her mother who is also 90+. Needless to say we had a wonderful visit and hope to make another visit with them before we leave for home in mid-June. On the way we stopped at Cabela's in Hamburg where I took a lot of video of the animals on display. One of these days I'll post a movie for all to view. On the way home, we learned of a new casino in PA located at the Penn National Race Track in Grantville - the Hollywood Casino. Since this is only 30 minutes from TTH, we decided to make a quick stop to check out the place. Here again I took some video (illegally) and have converted it to a movie. The bad news is the network at TTH is so awful, it's difficult to upload the file. However, the video was finally uploaded and can be viewed using the below link. You'll see Audrey at the nickel slot machine where she made 50 cents on a $2.00 budget.

Friday and Saturday were uneventful days as we had rain and most of the time we chilled out around the coach. We were able to get in a short bike ride on Friday on the rails/trails path. Yesterday, Saturday, I got out for a ride before the rains came.
Sunday, May 17
We made it to church this morning where the sermon focused on the topic of sexuality in the Episcopal Church. Interesting comments by the rector. Now we're at Panera Bread in Hummelstown where we do have a good Wifi connection. Unfortunately I do not have any of the movies I want to post on this MacBook. The day began with rain but now the skies are clearing so there is a chance that we can ride the bikes or do something else out-of-doors.
All from here in central PA. Stay tuned for the next update.
