Fall 2015 Travels

We left Minnesota mid-October, 2015 and headed east to Pennsylvania.  It was a late fall season, so we saw lots of fall color on the trees as we drove through Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio and the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania.  We stayed about 10 days at Pine Hill RV Park, not far from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area.  From here we could visit family and do some sightseeing.



 Lehigh Valley Zoo near Schnecksville, PA was a very kid-friendly place to roam around for part of one day. The drive there took us on winding roads surrounded by colorful leaves and small farms.
 
Another day was spent at the Easton Farmers Market, said to be the oldest continuous running open-air market in the country.  A visit to Dietrich's Meat and Country Store (just down the road from the RV park) in Krumsville, PA took us back to the meat markets we remembered from the past...lots of fresh and smoked meats plus Pennsylvania Dutch specialties like Shoo Fly Pie and fresh baked breads. Near there was a local winery with some very good Concord Grape Wine.  By the end of October we had to move on, as the campground was preparing to close for the season.
