MAY 2-10; PENNSLYVANIA

First we stopped at Gettysburg to do the new Vistors Center, it was truly eye opening as far as understanding the battle. It brought it more to life and explained each days battle through short film narratives with diagrams. We drove the loop the next day using the audio tour with booklet, another great day. we camped at Drummer Boy and I was not impressed at all. prices where high considering it was almost empty and the pools where not full and operating, complete ripoff, even the internet service I paid for was basically a no show, I got 4 hours for 4.50. 

I did, however, get excellent service at Mar-Bar Tire Center. I was having a front end alignment problem and my tires where wearing drastically on the outside edges since I left Phoenix. They rotated all 6 and did an alignment for $227, turns out I had a severe "toe-in" problem. I hope the 2 tires will last the trip, we switched them to the outside rears and inverted them so the bad side is inside, they should hold up and wear flat but I have some doubts:( 

We did a day trip to Hershey for the experience (chocolate) and York for the Harley motorcycle tour, neat!

Later in the week we moved Eastward to Allentown to Pine Hill RV park, quite nice and the people had just bought it in March and they are very nice. They put on a Mother's Day breakfast on Sunday, which was our get away day for New York City, Mom's free and dudes where $5, great stuff! We met a guy who was from Sun City but working in Pa. so he was living in his RV until he could get an account on the Wet coast. Also there where several Rally's going on, The bounders, Shriner's and campers for Christ, all friendly!  

While in Pa. we found my Dad's grave site (quite an experience in itself) and made contact with my cousin Johnnie who I had not seen in 54 years, we spent an afternoon together and went to dinner with him and his wife Cookie! More neat times! We toured the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside for barns with the Hex signs and found a neat place on the mountaintop called hawk mountain, a migration sanctuary for hawks, eagles and other species, it had trails that ran into the famed Appalachian trail system, we spent about 20 minutes there and saw several large birds and Sue sat on a bench donated by John Denver:)
