Friday, Sept 16
Last night was freezing! We had to bring out another blanket and turn the house heater on this morning. We even got the electric heater out for when we were watching TV. Looks like summer is over and fall is absolutely here. Some of the trees are even starting to turn colors.
We stopped by the office before we left to see what time the square dance was tonight. Turns out there is a group that dances here this weekend. We hoped to join them both Friday and Saturday. Turned out that we got back from the RV show too late but we did stop by to see what time the dance is tomorrow. It was fun talking to everyone. We found out that two of the couples had purchased RV's at the show yesterday.
Most of our day was spent at the Hershey RV show. This is a really big show. It puts Pomona to shame. Even the number of vendors in the Giant Center was greater. Many of the vendors were from campgrounds and membership parks but there were plenty of others to visit. There were a couple of things I thought we should buy but Bill said No.
Most of the class A manufacturers were there. The really expensive ones weren't but we weren't interested in them anyway. There were a lot of rigs over 40 feet. I did find one 42ft one that I liked, an Ellipse by Itasca. I liked the 36ft Monaco Knight, the 36ft Itasca Meridian, the 36ft Thor Astoria, and parts of the Tiffins. If I could take the living room from the Challanger, the kitchen of a Tiffin, a Monaco bathroom and bedroom I would have the perfect coach. Of course, if we ever get another one it won't be brand new.
Fireplaces are now in a lot of rigs as are expandable couches.
We did have fun trying to get into the show. The signs on the roads weren't that good and I kept going the wrong way! We finally did get there. By the time we finished the show I was exhausted. My legs hurt, my hips hurt, my feet hurt, and my back hurt. We are not dancing tonight! But it was a fun day.
For dinner tonight we are going to stop at a restaurant in Harrisburg that I saw on Restaurant Impossible. The name of the place is Dodge City. This is the second RI place we have visited and I wasn't impressed with the other one. Let me tell you, Dodge City was great. They are keeping the remodel clean and updated. The food, mostly steaks, is very good and the service is excellent. I had hanger steak with a red wine demi glace. Bill had prime rib. We also got to talk to the owner's wife. She said they are so happy they were selected and for all the help Robert Irvine gave them. They are doing so much better. This restaurant had been there for 30 years and I hope it lasts for another 30. They deserve their success.
It was almost 9:00 pm when we got back to the campground. Since it is out in the middle of nowhere it was really, really dark. I am glad the GPS didn't have any trouble finding it. Otherwise who knows where we would have spent the night!
So here are all the other pictures I took. Enjoy.
