Although I still have plenty of things to write about our time in Pennsylvania, I want to be sure to include the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon: Pine Creek Gorge. I know you were waiting on the edge of your seats for this one! Tom and I visited the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, Pine Creek Gorge, in 2007. …

National Apple Harvest Festival in Biglerville
Tom and I enjoyed being in Harrisburg because it was so easy to get places from Harrisburg. One Sunday, after church, we headed south a bit to check out the National Apple Harvest Festival in Biglerville, Pennsylvania. I knew apple growing was a big thing in Washington state. I also know Ohio has its share …
Hate Shopping at Walmart but Love Shopping at Giant
Uniontown PA has 10,000 people and two grocery stores. Shop n Save and Walmart. Those were our choices all summer and neither of them was really a good option. Sure, we could get the basics but the produce was lousy. Although I see Walmart as a necessary evil, I hate shopping at Walmart, especially on …

Hersheys Chocolate World in Hershey Pennsylvania

George Washington Jokes to Tell Your Friends
During my time at Fort Necessity I have gained a great appreciation for George Washington. He was a self-taught man who learned from his mistakes and became a great leader. There are a lot of George Washington fans out there and I have enjoyed talking to many of them. But sometimes we think of him …
GAP Trail: Enjoying the Ups and Downs
I’ve written about the GAP Trail (Great Allegheny Passage) two previous times. Once when we rode with Chris and Bill and another this week when we rode the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. But, considering that the trail is 150 miles long, it seems deserving of one more post. So, today I decided to write about …
Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Frostburg Flyer
Tom and I continue to ride the Great Allegheny Passage Bike Trail whenever we have a few hours and good weather. It is a beautiful wooded trail along the local rivers. Even though it is a rail-trail, it is not as flat as most. One of the most challenging sections of the trail is the …
