Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon

Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon

We left the beautiful Lancaster area with all it’s great farms and covered bridges, and let’s not forget it’s great foods. The Shoo-Fly Pie, Whoopee Pies and Lebanon Bologna are great. If you are ever in the area you must go to Shady Maple Farm Market and Shady Maple Smorgasbord, they are in East Earl. While we were in the area we took a day and went to Quakertown, PA. I was born in Quakertown, but we moved away when I was 3 years old. From here we went on to Pottstown, PA, to look up a Navy buddy of mine, Robert McTavish. We lost touch when he gave up his land line for cell phone and got a new email address. I found his home address and knocked on the door hoping he still lived here, or someone who did not own a shotgun. Well it turned out that this was the correct address his wife Gretchen answered the door and after some conversation we remembered each other. He was not home, he drives semi and was on the road. I gave her my business card and she gave me his cell number. We got together and spend the whole day together, the four of us, on Saturday and went out to eat at Shady Maple Smorgasbord of course. Thank you Bob!

I Love All This Traveling! Only Life I Have Ever Known, I Have Been To More States That Most People Will Ever See. Are You Jealous? Am I Special Or What?
