Chambersburg is up and over the hill westward. Gettysburg is kinda gradual down and eastward. (Depending on the route you choose to Gettysburg, you cross the National Park of the battlefield at one of the high points near the main memorial--eyeopening and worth a pause if you are up on how critical a battle that was). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clear sky, full moon. After driving past the Boyer Farms Nursery and seeing the hills light up like a Christmas tree from the critter's eyes that battle field got kinda spooky! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,500 #55 Posted March 19, 2022 We stayed at Comfort Inn last year and after a full day of walking around, I have to say the beds were quite comfortable. The A/C was spot on. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the time I made my reservations the Comfort Inn was $ 85 and the Quality Inn at the same exit from I-81 was $ 70. I'm going to be at the Quality Inn. If you are coming in on Wednesday evening be there before 6:00 pm to join us at the Italian Village for dinner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,051 #66 Posted March 22, 2022 Few years back it was close to 100 for 3 days straight. AC with pizza and wings delivered to your hotel room or stinking and sleeping on the ground. I'll take no. 1 Monty! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you bring your hog along ?… that’s cool ! I do appreciate the offer on the tents, but I do believe with the misses possibly tagging along, I had better stay at a hotel… thats a good out ! I am a little up in years for the camping. If I had one of those fancy toy haulers with AC I may would do that, but a tent… not so sure . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the hot spots... Hershey, Gettysburg, Three Mile Island... Based out of cute little campground for day rides. Camp ground owners loved us and our little red tractors. I found a tub and gave young'uns rides and we got free ice! I would still be tent/enclosed camping if the missus didn't have to pee in the middle of the night! @Shynon and @wheelhorseman and the Iowa Boys still do it. They added RV ACs rto their rigs. Queen size air bed & carpet for the floor quite comfy. Never went to a show yet and said geez ...wished I woulda spent more time in the camper (or hotel room)!
