Enjoying our stay

We have been having a good time here at Gettysburg TT park. They had a real nice Memorial Day Celebration. We even had a lady that was in the Army in WW2. She is 92 and is doing great for her age. The other day we went to Hanover Pa. to take 2 factory tours. Fist we went to Snyder's of Hanover. They make Pretzels and other snacks. They started back in 1920 and have been going strong ever since. The tour was great but we were not allowed to take pictures. We got to see the whole process from start to end. They sure can put our a lot of Pretzels in one day.





Then we went to the UTZ Potato Chip factory. Same thing here no pictures and this one is a self guided tour. Again you get to see the entire process from start to finish. It was also a great tour and fun to learn now all these things are made. They started in 1921 and have a 600,000 sq. ft. facility. We had never heard of them but they put out a good chip.






Today we took the bike and went to York Pa. to see the York County Agricultural and Industrial Museum. This is one great place to see all the business that started York. They even had a working Grist Mill. Also there were old cars that were built here. And a ton of other things. Only bad thing was it cost $15.00 to get in ( but that will get you into the other museums in there system, But it only good for one day) We thought it was free from what we had read so we just walked in and started our tour. Guess they don't monitor things as no one said any thing. If we would have known we would have not gone.













I will add more pictures and a link later so you can see them all.
