Day thirty three - Friday

We finally got our Cracker Barrel breakfast! In the spring of '04, while on our two-month southwest tour, we discovered Cracker Barrel restaurants. There are none in California so we haven't been in one since then. Very good breakfast.

After breakfast we drove around the Amish country a little just to have a last look before taking off. We drove to Intercourse and Paradise via Bird in Hand. We didn't go to Virginville, Blue Ball or Fertility today.

We left the campground at about 1:00 and headed west. We drove to York with the intention to touring the Harley Davidson plant there. In York, more than 3,200 employees work around the clock assembling Touring and Softail models, as well as limited production, factory-custom motorcycles. It's the largest HD manufacturing facility. My bike was probably born here. However, by the time we got to York the last factory tour had already begun. Plus, we weren't able to find parking for the motor home at the factory. So, we continued on.

An hour or so later we were in Hershey Pa. We stopped at the Wal-Mart to spend the night so we could get an early start on the Hershey's Chocolate World tomorrow morning.

Ann made Chef's Salad for dinner and we had a game of Scrabble to complete the day.

Yorh is the largest HD manufacturing facility. I have been looking forward to that place for a long time. Riding ma Harley go back to its home. But I haven't the chance. I heard from my friends who I met on a site called bikerkiss that it is good place. We usually talk about it.
