Hershey, PA, RV Show
We left Maine on September 13 heading for the Hershey RV Show. This is reported to be the largest RV Show in the country. We spent three days there and didn't see most of it. Our main focus was the Newmar Motorhome area.
While in Hershey, we stopped at the Hershey Chocolate Factory for a tour, which shared a parking lot with the RV Show. The tour was more like an amusement ride. But was a fun distraction from viewing RVs.
Antietam National Battlefield
Leaving Hershey, we relocated near Gettysburg, PA, to visit with family. One day was spent at the Antietam National Battlefield. We drove the 8 1/2 mile battlefield tour with 11 stops along the way. The twelve hour battle began at dawn on September 17, 1862, just ten months prior to the infamous battle at Gettysburg. Antietam was the bloodiest one day battle of the Civil War. Both sides experienced masses of death and injury.

Apple Picking with Family
Tractor Ride to the Apple Orchards with daughter and family.
We could eat all we wanted, only paid for the Fuji apples we took home.

On Saturday we took a day trip with the family to York, PA for a tour of the Perrydell Farm and Dairy.
The Haines Shoe House
The newborn calves enjoyed the attention.
We sampled Perrydell milk and ice cream.
The shoe house was built in 1948 along side US 30 just north of York, PA. We took a tour of this five story shoe house, built by a shoe salesman named Mahion Haines to promote the work boots he sold.
Summers Farm Fall Festival
On Sunday we drove to Frederick, Maryland, for the Fall Festival. There were rides, corn mazes, zip lines, food and games. It was a fun day at the farm with the kids.
Daughters Day
Visiting Brian and Laura - Top of White Mountain, North Carolina
Smith Center, Kansas
Kelly, Julia and Logan
We had an appointment at the Excel Service Center in Smith Center, Kansas, to have our fifth wheel repaired. Two of the slide floors were replaced and the rear wall was reattached to the floor which had separated due to bad roads, followed by wet weather. We stayed in a local B & B for four nights while the work was being done on our RV. This beautiful house was built in 1883 and served as the county hospital for over 50 years until it was converted into this lovely six bedroom home.
Ingleboro Mansion
We stayed in the green room.
The bedroom slide was removed, while the dinette slide was repaired in place.
Guess we aren't sleeping here tonight.

I expected to see that you rolled out of the RV show with a brand new motorhome!
Isn't it scary to see your home opened up like that? Hope everything went well.
Looks like yall made a lot of fun stops. Apples, ice cream, Hershey's - those are my favorite tours.
