Paradise to New Jersey

Talk about getting the cart before the horse -- last blog started with Morgantown, W.V. We then drove through Gettysburg, PA. The stark reality of the difficulty and hardship that everyone suffered was unbelievable! See the pictures of Gettysburg. From here we traveled through York, Lancaster, and the rest of the cities/towns that was mentioned in the last blog. Now we will pick up our adventures at Paradise.
It is the first day of the week and surely the weather will co-operate with us. Our first stop was to taste Shoo-Fly-Pie at Dutch Haven Gift Shop and Bakery. One taste is enough! Next, we visited the Menninite Store. There were many items concerning the Old Testament Tabernacle. Boy, was it hard to walk out of the store. Our last "shopping" stop before hitting the highway was at East Earl, PA. This was a large Amish/Menninite community which included a very huge grocery store plus a store called "Good Stuff" - contents: clothing, hardware, notions, fabrics, furniture, etc.
Onward and upward! Albany here we come!!
Rain! Rain! Rain! Very HEAVY rain! Thus causing slow progress. As we were approaching Kutstown, PA. a sign appeared on the side of the road, thru the rain, "Do Not Tailgate" - we could not be sure if we were or not due to the cloud burst - it was as if we were Hanzel and Gretel following crumbs since we were passing the city of Krumbville. Our plan was to overnight in Bethleham but since we had made very few miles we deciced to continue on. We ended our day at Hazelet, N.J. We traveled ONLY 100 miles this day!
See you next time!
