Pennsylvania

Our next stop was Tohickon Campground near Quakertown PA. We were visiting friends here in this area, a man that Joe worked with about 25 or 30 years ago, Tom Lunde and his wife Kathy. We went over to their house for dinner and stayed for about 5 hours, had a great time talking and laughing. It was a good visit, and we will be sure to keep in touch.


We went down to Philadelphia for the day, and saw the Liberty Bell and the Historic District, very interesting place. They have several trams touring the area as well as horse and carriage tours. We just took a self guided walking tour and saw everything we wanted to see. It was a nice day and was not raining, so we enjoyed it a lot.

We stayed at that campground for about 6 days then pulled out to get some repair work done on the motor home. We headed a little West then to Hershey PA, there was a Thousand Trails Park there, so we decided to stay there for two weeks. It was a nice campground and a great location. We met a lot of nice people here, and Joe finely got the plans for a flagpole he wanted to make, and as you can see in the picture below, we now have a great flagpole.

We went to Hershey and toured the factory to see how the candy is made, tasted some chocolate and then we took a tour around the town and the grounds belonging to the Hershey family, on a trolley, that was a lot of fun. The Hershey family story was very interesting. We went to Chocolate World to buy some candy.

We had to bring the coach back in to Cummins Engine for a recall on our turbo, so have been here for a couple of days and will be leaving tomorrow and going to Gettysburg for a day or two. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, lots of green fields and rolling hills, very pretty.
