I would love to be on that ride as I lived in Levittown from 67-68 but Labor Day weekend would be a killer for me coming up and going back.  Went to Pennsbury Valley Elementary and Pennsbury HS (maybe that was Pennsbury Jr High at the time?).

Very close to where I grew up, and I graduated from Bishop Egan HS. Well, if you change your mind, you'll know where we'll be!

Last call! Looks like the weather will be in the low 80's by mid-day, adding a quick first stop at Bowman's Tower,
a commemorative monument to George Washington and his army.

Yeah pictures, we like pictures.

ps I mispelled copyright.  College was 35 yers ago :(

Thanks Jim it was a great day.  Does your COG story include the 2 dropped C-10's, the rain and the lost rider (me).  I am on record saying I don't like to go fast.  I have to live up to the reputation.  Luckily I had my Ipad this time so I got a direct route home.

All in all it was a good day.
