Leave the weekend on the lake to the locals

There is a lot more traffic on the ramp and out on the water over the weekends. We decide to explore some local landmarks and events.  Check it out!

The Aughwick Antique Tractor Ride and Show.  We pull into the parking lot at the Rockhill Trolley Museum.  The place is nearly deserted and there are certainly no antique tractors around.  Just as I find an official looking someone, the first of the tractors rounds the corner.  It really is a tractor ride.  The local antique tractor club has gathered from across the county and drove the last 9 miles on back mountain roads just for the fun of it then they park in a perfect row to show off for any who come to see.  It is a pretty small collection but it includes an odd looking Case tiller/cultivator.  We learned all about it from the fellow who rode it in.

 

We come upon a regular Kars and Koffee rally of the Raystown Kruisers as we head back to camp.  These fellows get together every week to show off some great looking rides.  Most are “restored” to feel like the original but drive a little easier (automatic transmissions) and ride a little safer (modern brake systems).  A ’57 Chevy painted a gorgeous blue caught my eye.  It was the owner’s first car that he bought for $150.  He certainly has a lot more in it now!  A deep burgundy ‘56 Chevy sat right beside it.  It is awfully nice too and not nearly as gaudy without the fins and all the chrome.  Maybe I like it a little bit better.  I’d take either one.
