Fall 09

We left Maine just in time because snow was in the forecast for the following week. On our way to PA we followed rte. 209 through the Delaware Water Gap. It was beautiful. We spent about 5 days near Hershey at the Thousand Trails Preserve. We met some friends, Harold and Berna Lu there. We had a good time touring the area and taking in the pretty countryside. Many farms grew pumpkins so there were beautiful displays of gourds, pumpkins, and mum plants. The food was delicious! We went to Strasburg Railroad Museum, very interesting. Just down the road was The Red Caboose Motel. If you spend the night there, you sleep in a caboose! We had lunch in the dining car. About every 15 min. the car would move from side to side and would make a clickety clack sound of the tracks. From Hershey we followed Harold and Berna Lu south as far as GA. We're in Largo, FL now. A cold front is expected to come through momentarily. It's supposed to cool down for the weekend. (Cooler than 90 degrees, that is!) Coolness is a relative term, I guess. Take care and we'll write more later.
