Go, See, Do, Experience!
We needed fuel for the truck so Kevin asked the guys at the guard shack at Gettysburg Farm Campground where to get diesel. Guy said, “3 lefts and a right” to Rutters. HAHA That is farm-directions, right?! Well, after some turns I saw we were headed east, the wrong direction from where we wanted to... Continue Reading →
We remember where we were, what we were doing, the feelings, the shock, horror, pride of country. It’s a part of history that we know. 9/11/01 Flight 93 National Memorial, in Stoystown, PA. Flight 93 crash site is really hilly. I knew it was an old mine that had been covered up, from reading some... Continue Reading →
It Just So Happened…. How many times are you at a place, you see an event that interests you, but you aren’t there for that date. Well, we were at the right place at the right time for several events in this area here in Manheim, Pennsylvania! 😜 It Just So Happened… My mom had... Continue Reading →
We left early in the morning for our 1-1/2 hour drive east to Philadelphia and got there about 8:30 a.m. We saw an underground parking garage under the Independence Visitor Center but it looked like a sharp turn at the bottom. Our truck is a Ram 3500, king cab, with long bed. We kept driving,... Continue Reading →
Isn't this picture the funniest?! I posted last Friday about this amazing Auction. In this photo, Kevin pretends to take Larry's pie and what a shock on Larry's face! Jim is holding tightly to his pie. HAHA Larry, me (Charla), and Jim at the Auction. Several of you sweet readers commented that you were also... Continue Reading →
Valley Forge National Historic Park. Crazy thing about this: don’t put into GPS maps to see where “Valley Forge” is. Apparently it is a town south and west of us and less than 1/2 hour from our campground in Manheim, PA. Valley Forge, where George Washington and the army camped for 6 months during 1777-1778,...

Napanoch, NY has the fascinating Wawarsing Historical Society and Knife Museum. We saw it one day as we drove past. It is in an old school house. As we walked up to the door we were greeted by an older man.This place is unique in that the 2 large rooms have these older men as... Continue Reading →
Saunderskill Farms is less than a mile from our campground in Accord, NY. This is the one that has been in the family for 12 generations, since 1680. It was our second time to visit this week. We purchased some lettuce, kale, cucumbers, mini peppers - including purple ones, and onions. At home (footnote 1)... Continue Reading →
West Point Military Academy. OH boy, it was crazy that nothing I looked up to do around this entire area listed this place! We knew of it but not where it is located. So glad my Uncle Jim mentioned it when we told him where we are staying. The Great Chain was used across the... Continue Reading →
Travel Day: New Hampshire to Vermont. At one point while driving, Kevin reached over to hold my hand. I said, “Don’t be thinkin’ about Sweet Nothings when you are pulling HOWE!” (Footnote 1) OH my goodness, that was hilarious! Those words just poured out from my mouth. We laughed so hard! I guess I wanted... Continue Reading →
