In search of Yuengling


We are officially on the road!  We wound up leaving around 1 pm today (much later than we had planned, but oh well).  It was our tentative plan to stop by the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, but by the time we were near Cooperstown, it was 4:45 pm and the HOF closes at 5 pm this time of year.  Bummer, but it did allow us to make up some time.  We stopped in Canajoharie, NY for dinner and also swung by Price Chopper to pick up some Yuengling beer!  Yuengling Lager, to be specific - and it's not available in MA, which makes it even more tasty!  Thanks to Bob F. for turning us on to that!!

We planned to do some camping along the way, weather permitting.  Tonight, though, we ended up in a Residence Inn in Rochester - the polar opposite of camping with its kitchen, living room, and ESPN!

Tomorrow we're off to Detriot.  Hopefully that squeaking noise we heard from the engine today (a belt, I think) won't be a problem...

Yuengling is good stuff-- they have it on tap in DC. It's a Pennsylvania beer; had some with the Paternos/Pohlands.

If you have some time, you should relive our family trips and have breakfast at the Wehrle Diner (not too far from I-90 in Buffalo).

Everything goes down hill when you don't pay respect to the baseball HOF.

Camping plans foiled, squeeking car...

haha seriously though I'm bummed you couldn't get in there. I wanted to see some pictures. Perhaps a trip we can all make in the future!

Glad you got a hold of some Yuengling. T has been talking about his quest for that beer for a while. He's always on the lookout.

Wonder if they had Yuengling at McPartlan's--an Irish bar/restaurant?? We're hoping you know not to declare beer in your car when crossing into Canada. We were always running Coors back to Detroit before it was forced to go natiional.(We hid it inside the extra diapers we brought for Chrissy to wear on the trip.)
