7[8]-15-78 75 miles Millersville; 55 York; 80 miles to Brownsville; Matthews Arm
CG 82 ~total 4682 miles. Got the grand tour of Valley Forge. Met up with a guy
that was out to put on some miles & he escorted me to Lionville for lunch.
An interesting 45 year old domineering chap. After that I headed out toward
Lancaster via Intercourse, etc. Inter. was a real tourist pit. I was grossed
out by the whole affair. Went to Lanc. where I met another fellow who gave me
part of a county map of Lanc. county & let me use his bathroom. I went to
Millersville for the night. The cops said "Hell no, not the park!" So a man

in the drug store, Mullner,I believe, put me up. I called ma, took a shower &
told him tales of Glacier. Promised also to send him literature on it. Next
morning headed for Harrisburg ate break.[fast] at Columbia and had a horrid gut
ache with the trots. Made it to H. with little difficulty, saw some of the capitol
and road toward York via routes 177 & 74. Just outside of Lewisberg I stopped
at a fruit stand for peaches a bananna pepper, toms & lemonaide. Schucks! On
to York to spend the night. What else can I say. From York it was Gettysburg via
116.

My dad was born and raised in York, so this was something pretty special. To
my knowledge, I am the only one in my family to ever go there. The detour
to Harrisburg was specifically based on Dad's love for he town.
To Dad's dismay I
looked up some of his old family and actually spent the night at Fanny Harris'
(Aunt Fanny), who when I called her finally said "You're Billy's boy?!?". It had
never occured to me that Dad would be a "Billy". I think my fumbling reply was
something on the order of "Well, yes, I guess so".
