On the way to Hershey

[Jay Wolf]

As usual we will be meeting in Indianpolis, Indiana and heading out to Hershey Sunday or Monday. Does anyone know of any museums, tours or collections we should stop and see on our way.

We have done several over the years but always looking so an interesting stop.

If you know any worth stopping at let me know.

Last year we went up to the Yingling Brewery and that was interesting.

Cinci OH has a good fire museum downtown if that isn't too far out of the way. Also a good one in Ft. Wayne but being from IN you may have already visited that.

[Guest AlK]

There is a nice antique car museum in Canton Ohio. Depending on what route you take it would not be to far out of your way.

[Ron Green]

I have friends staying over for Hershey and we might visit the Harley Davidson plant in York and take the tour. If you haven't visited the Swigart Museum in Huntingdon it is a must.

[West Peterson]

There's a motorcycle museum on the east side of Columbus, on I-70.

Packard Museum in Dayton, just south of I-70 and two blocks from I-75 in downtown. (opens at noon).

Joseph Hardy collection (founder of 84 Lumber), Farmington, Pennsylvania, located at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort & Spa.

AACA Museum, Hershey <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Don't forget that!

The only thing I've stoped for on the way to Hershey was GAS! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

speaking of such, looks like cost of gas is going to be about 30% less than everyone had figured. so all the more to spend at the flea market.

[Guest imported_Packards1]

Try the Packard museum in Warren Ohio. It is not too far off the Ohio Turnpike.

[Wowabunga]

Gas in Missouri was $1.99 in the middle of the state. Indiana exit #7 it's like $2.09 and thru Ohio many places at $2.05 a gallon. Expensive in WV and MD.... am told Carlise has some $2.15 gas.

Had a blowout tire in the back up 1992 GEO on the way out, nice late night staff at rest stop helped me out... main vehicle didn't make trip due to lack of reverse gear in el-cheezo chrysler tranny.

I made it to Maryland.... worst come worst can hitchhike the rest of the way...!!!

Why is it that you can truck gas into the middle of America and sell it for less than here in Connecticut were we can see tankers floating in Long Island Sound?

[Guest JDHolmes]

The same reason they sell it for 40 cents less than here in Houston where we refine it. I actually think they have to ship it from Houston to Iowa to toss in some corn stalk stuff then ship it back, that's why we pay so much.

[Jay Wolf]

PLans are (as of now subject to change)

Go to the Newport Antique Auto Hill climb on Sunday (Newport Indiana)leave there late afternnon, drive about 5 or so hours to the midle/east in Ohio spend the night. That would leave us about 5-6 hours from Hershey.

We may stop at the

on Monday on the way to Hershey.

The Packard Museum (Canton) is closed Monday.

I usually go to the Hillclimb my phoots last year are at.

Same thing.

GAS, GAS, GAS----driving a 99 Suburban pulling a 24-foot closed trailer with a 56 Buick inside, and flea market parts and luggage in the Suburban. On a good day, 7.3 mpg. Let's hope gas prices fall through the floor.

[Jay Wolf]

We stopped at the Swagart museum today.

It was great thanks for the suggestion.
