Just back from Pennsylvania

And my usual area in the Amish land of Lancaster again. My Dad still loves camping there and I still love going there myself, eating well and just enjoying the quiet and the occasional click clacking of the buggies going on by.

I took some more cruddy drone footage and some photos from it. I also got a new drone in the Dji Mini 3 pro, so the video quality should be pretty good, even if I move it with a "jerky" movements at times and miss things and basically all around suck with it. But learn more every time I fly. Still a lot of fun!

First a couple of photos. And when you open them, you can then click them to see them in full size. Not bad quality from a tiny little drone flying in the wind?

This wasn't the greatest view, just messing around at the Green Dragon Farmers Market. Was H_O_T!!!

This one is the market view from overhead. If you click on it to see full size, it sure draw in a lot and gives you a great view.

Lastly just a beautiful home I love out in Lancaster!

And last one - and when landing you see my brother, my step Mother, my Dad is in there, then my brother Dan and his girlfriend Erica in the background, and my dumb skinny ass holding the controller as I was taking photos at same time of the family. :)

My Dad and my cousin Teddy. Dad is looking and doing great for pushing 90! Had a blowout and crawled under his trailer to change tires and then crawled under again at the campground to do more work prior to our arrival. In very great shape for his dang age. Hope it's in our genes!

Oh, and Btw, that sweet cute looking little piglet bit my dang fingers when I fed him! They have a little gumball machine you put in a quarter and get some food. Did that and like 7 pigs came chasing me!! LOL

Thanks Jim.

I haven't been up to that part of the country for a very long time. You forget how nice it is...

That's the Pa. I remember most. The closer you get to Philly...no SHOEFLY PIE or SMORGASBOARD meals unless you speak Fluent Spanish.

Latin/Amish fusion cuisine .... I wonder how that would turn out. I ate at a Chinese/Southern fusion place in Georgia. It didn't turn out so well. Shoo-fly flan? Fajita and refried bean smorgasbord? Any interest?

One of the few nice places I can get too fairly easily. Dad still loves the place and he is still there till the 15th of August. I can only last a few days before I get full and bored. I ate a TON and brought home some great cinnamon raisin bread, Lebanon bologna, 2 racks of ribs, chicken thighs & some apple butter.

Glad to see others enjoying the Amish land. A great place to go eat and relax and enjoy the old fashioned living of the Amish and Mennonite. And biting little piglets!

Oh, Shady Maple for whoever has been there, the largest smorgasboard! I ate so much there in 2 days! But has to be Lancaster for me. And no more shoo fly pie. Had a taste again and my God is that stuff so much sweeter each time I try it!
