We take the Lincoln Highway from here to Gettysburg. ate our dinner on a side road about 5 miles from Lemoyne had to eat it in the car as it was still raining first place was Hillsburg only a small place mostly pasture land here. and some Cabbage patch. must be lots of Dutch people at York Springs saw a few small peach and apple orchards. are making good time on the road here, it is wide & straight with a few low hills.
