Pennsylvania

Our route through Pennsylvania.

A stop in the Allegheny National Forest near Tionesta.

Phil--no shadow today, just drizzle at the Visitors Center.

Entrance to the state park that borders the

 eastern portion of the Grand Canyon

of Pennsylvania.  

The eastern side of PA's Grand Canyon.

About 1400' down.

The western side of the Grand Canyon. 

 We saved this side for a nice hike down.

Turkey path to the bottom.  One mile down and six up!

Ready!

Beautiful sites on the hike.

At the bottom, in Pine Creek, adding a rock to the cairn.

Back up.

Pretty steep.

Our RV site in Thousand Trails Hershey.

We finally got to play a little pickleball. 

 Keith watches as Judy steps into the volley.

A summertime treat after a hard game.

Yoga at our site.

Roots flea/farm/everything market.

We bought a dressed rabbit for the grill.

Tasty, tender, and lean white meat.

It went well with fresh green beans,

 corn on the cob, and tomatoes.

I think we are eating VERY well.

Grilling fresh foods.

We thought that we or you might 

like to duplicate this garden.

Eight foot tall tomato plants!  Yum.

A chocolate tour in the world's sweetest place.

We enjoyed a nice treat after the tour.

Hershey's is the world's largest chocolate factory.

  There really is not a tour of the factory anymore,

 but a "Disney type" ride and explanation

 of the manufacturing process.

Milton Hershey School built in 1909 and still going strong.

Go Trojans.

View of Hershey from the practice soccer field.

Next to the high school is the Hershey Hotel, built in 1939.  

 We self-toured the building and enjoyed

 shopping the lobby retail outlets.

One last stop before heading south through Maryland

 to Virginia and Chesapeake Bay Thousand Trails.

James Buchanan was our 15th President, 

and some say he was responsible for the Civil War.
