Newport on July 8 could be very do-able.  Mid week and not a scheduled stop, so fewer foamers likely to be swarming.  Looks like you'd want to be there at 9 or shortly thereafter.  It won't take long once it departs Enola at 9.



Plus the promise of some suds at the Hard Hat. 


Any takers?  2.5 hours from me, but more convenient to you Baltimorons.  I could also do Mt. Union or Huntingdon in the afternoon since she'll be laying over in Lewistown for an hour.

And I've booked a campsite for Tuesday Night at Ferryboat Campsites about 15 minutes away!



We'll be bringing our new toy!

I'm planning for doing that very thing at Newport. Although I'll just be driving up and back because, amusingly, we have symphony tickets that night.

The amusement of a day beer at the hard hat and the symphony at night is a situation I cannot pass up.

It's a date!
