Ahhh...what a beautiful day to get out on the open road. It's been awhile since we've hit the road and what better day than today to get out there and cruise the countryside. We headed up US-15 towards the Keystone State (Pennsylvania for those of you not down with the state nicknames). We cruised past Gettysburg and then pulled off onto a state route shortly after. We wound around the curves and dipped up and down the hills with no real destination in mind though the signs kept leading us towards Hanover. No matter which way we turned the road would always lead us back to a sign that said Hanover x miles ahead. We gave in and slowly made our way there. As we cruised around Hanover we slowly came across a sign that looked ever so familiar. Utz Potato Chip Co. Could it be?!? Is it??? Why yes, yes it is. It is home to Utz Potato Chips which offers daily tours (week days only). We were bummed that we wouldn't be able to take a factory tour that day but did hit up the factory store to see what goodies they had. We picked up a couple bags of chips that we know we liked and then small bags of some we weren't sure about but looked good. One of those being gucamole chips. Wow were they good.

We left Hanover and drove by the same Mc Donald's about 3 times (Big Ben...Parliment) before we got on the right path. We headed out PA-94 and came across a mileage sign that said Baltimore 40 miles. We thought we would make a trip there but couldn't figure out exactly how to get there (aside from the not so obvious road signs). So we headed down 70 to 29 and then down through our Nation's Capital.

We ended our evening on our balcony with some wine, beer and some great conversation.

Explore the back country....you never know where you'll end up
