Overnight at the Fulton's Steamboat Inn ----Amish, Dining, Drinks and Outlets.

A small group of my classmates, age 70 or more, took off for Lancaster, PA and stayed overnight at the Fulton Steamboat Inn. It had been about 35 years since I last visited the area. The only thing different is the intense commercialization and the traffic. You would have expected that the Amish and Mennonites would have moved on but they are still  an obvious part of the area and participating in the economy that is doing comparatively well. My long time friend knows the area well after her many visits and she made this following list of our plans. Even though I could not get enough of the Amish and their buggies, I did not want to ride on one because the traffic would have made me too nervous. The outlets at one time were very unique up in this area and real bargains were readily available but not so much these days and outlet shops are everywhere.

There were many more of these type of bicycles than I remember.  They had no pedals.  They had a board to stand on one leg and you pushed along the road with your other foot:
