Traveling thru Maryland, West Virgina and KY

The fall colors were outstanding!!

More of the same stuff!!!

Kicking back in Tullahoma TN at Wil's sisters home with family.

We have achieved our goal of visitng all 49 states!!  It's time to go home

Gettysburg

The visitors center contained a "cyclorama", movie, and museum.
 First class productions!

The battlefield has many monuments and memorials as well as cannons.

A great view of the monuments and battlefield from "Little Top"

This diorama is  the town of Gettysburg as it was at time of the great battle.
Union casualties 23,049-killed 3,155
Confederate casualties 22,874-killed 4,637

Martin's Chips and Harley Davidson factory tours - York PA

We watched potato chips being made from raw potatos to chips, packing and delivery.
We tasted warm chips as they came off the conveyor.

 We toured the making of the Harley from raw material to the finished
 bike being tested on a dyno and loaded on a trailer for delivery.
It is mostly made by robots!

Hershey TT Park

Hershey Thousand Trails.  A beautiful park.

We've been "keeping track" of this tree as the leaves changed colors. 
It was 1/2 green when we arrived a week ago.

This park is by far the nicest we've stayed in since leaving home.
  It has more amenities than we can possibly take advantage of in the next week! 

This was a great choice to call home for 2 weeks. 
We highly recommend it, if you come to PA!

UnionTunnel Canal - Lebanon, PA

On a "cold" day with no plans, we decided to take the Union Tunnel Canal cruise. 
(Wil and a volunteer, "he claims native Indian", in charge.)

The tunnel of this canal is the oldest in the United States. 
An interesting history!

We had some 'silent, but very friendly' escorts during our ride:
Buddy (the larger one), and Hobo.

Hershey Museum, Hershey PA

The Museum was terrific!  Hershey no longer has factory tours, but the museum explains all.
This billionaire gave his whole fortune to charity before he died.
  

Hershey started a K-12 school for the underprivelaged
 which is still in existence today with over 1200 students.
It is entirely funded through his efforts.

The 2-story lobby is really impressive, as well as the whole experience!
A "sweet" story....for sure.

Valley Forge, PA

We spent a day here and took a trolley tour around the park,
 which is the best way to see and appreciate it!

This is an in-the-ground baking oven that the soldiers used for making bread.

A demonstration of musket firing.
