Remember too, if you are traveling east on the PA turnpike from Pittsburgh, DO NOT TAKE WILLOW HILL EXIT!

One other travel not, and I don't know if this even matters to anyone, the bridge across the Yellow Breeches along Rt 74 between Dillsburg and Carlisle is closed until Sept 26. There is a detour that isn't that long, but alternative routes may be desirable.

Any info on the RT. 15 Shamokin Dam bypass project? That new bridge is awesome to get thru Northumberland but I was wondering about the 2nd half of the project. It's a bottleneck in the Dam but we always stop there to eat on the way and back.

Sorry, you have probably been that way more recently that I have. I haven't been back to Norry or Billtown in about two years. Best I can tell you is to turn left at Hoss's, right at the stop sign, and that brings you out by Sheetz, bypassing all the lights along the strip.

Thanks for the map! I have a question, since it’s a Wheel Horse tractor only show, I’m assuming a pull behind wagon also has to be a Wheel Horse wagon? Turns out I’ll have my step daughter with me on Friday, and only taking two tractors (three of us) so figuring that out since they have a rule of one person per seat…

I don’t make the rules, but I would think as long as the trailer is attached to a WH it’s fine.

You'll be fine if it's red!

I've seen many homemade trailers and carts. As long as it's not promoting another brand. Not sure these are all Wheel Horse.

As long as it ain't green with a running critter picture on it you will be OK.

I know I've seen some generic and 100% not WH carts and trailers around at previous years. I even brought my black plastic one in with me one year, just to round up stuff I'd bought through the day, and nobody said boo.

 

It seemed to me that there is a silent acknowledgement my the organizers that yard trailers are very useful at the show for collecting and transporting purchases, and that WH branded ones can be hard to come by these days.

 

But yeah, showing up with one that has a running critter might get you shot at. Or at least your trailer. Wonder what would happen if I rolled in with my 855 sporting the JD K181 I have on a shelf.

Raining now at the Comfort inn, possible until 8pm.  I hope the "picnic table of knowledge" will still be in session tonight.  I haven't gone around back yet to find the table.

@stevebo - Snowplow pickup at baggage carousel 6?

 

@Pullstart - I have your transmission / rims / tires for your commander.

 

Dan M - let me know when you're here so I may buy that bracket.

Uh-oh: no picnic table.  Was I led astray being told to stay here?

I know, but it's a lot shorter to go Park Place-Locust Point- WG or 74.

Well, I moved here from Marietta in 2018 & still don't know my way around.

It's likely my old-timer's disease.
