I made it to just south of Harrisburg, Pa today. It took about 7.5 hours but I am between all the places I want to go to. The camping area does not have sewer or was but does have electricity and the cell phone signal is good which means I can call and use the computer internet. I also have TV reception so I can see some TV now. One thing that bugged me on this trip is it is so quiet so in the mornings I use the internet to pipe in a Dallas station.
I am going to stay here for four nights because there is so many places I want to go. Lancaster is where Christian Haldeman came in the early 1700's. His son Jacob was born here in 1715. John Cesnna was the sherriff in Bedford, Pa and today I noticed on the internet that there is a Cessna, Pa, which looks like a suburb of Bedford. There is a memorial to Major john Cessna in Bedford that I would like to see.
I am not sure if I can find out if any Amish or Menonites are named Halterman. They do not have phones. I did find two names of people named Halterman in East Straudsburg, Pa. This is the place that had about three major car dealerships named Halterman, Toyota, Hyundia, Chrysler and Chevrolet.
Not sure if I told you but Eddie remided me that Halterman means "man who lives on a slope or hill"
