A sighting today

Late this morning we were heading home from a job in Campbelltown on US 322. Up ahead coming my way is a green 55 Ford. Then I see red sideboards. Then I get a look at the guy driving. It’s Abe.

Yes, that was me Dennis. See my Road Trip post for more details.

It's a small world, isn't it. What are the odds of two FTE guys crossing paths with each other like that?

It rained most of the way down but when i hit Lancaster County the sun came out. On the way home around Harrisburg it really rained hard. Thank goodness for Rainex.

It looked like Lebanon County got pounded last night. There was a lot of flooded streams and fields.

Another sighting today. Coming home from camping I was passed by Nick on US 222 southbound at the Ephrata exit. He got off at Brownstown. Dennis
