Hey Monk ,
It's only 70 some miles (about 1-1/2 hrs.) . You are in for a real treat ! Give Bill Howard my regards ! While you are at Case , check and see how many of their knives are being made in China !!
Bob

P.S. Don't forget to visit Queen ! They are just down the street .

[big monk]

Thanks guys__ ____Rocky,I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures to share with you guys !!____Robert,don't matter if the Case Factory is closed, GEC Factory, is my ""main target"",this trip__I'd be just as ""happy"" to find a good Flea Market, somewhere in that area !!!!!!!!____and after two days of boring my wife with knife talk, I'm sure she is going to ""Suggest"" a few places,she wants to visit,on our return journey !!!!!!!

You will have a great time at the factory monk! I was there last year In October sometime during the week... We got the personal tour from Christine, she tried to track down Bill but he was busy. oh well. It's a neat area, you and the wife might wanna check out the surrounding area it's also known for their history in the oil business, then there is Amish, the railroad.... Anyways lots of stuff to check out in Pa, have a great time! oh yeah don't forget Hershey, Pa. for some Hershey's chocolate!

Blademan,

If you like adventure you cannot beat this: http://www.octrr.org/caboosemotel.htm I stayed last year, its within 3 min from GEC and reasonably priced. Very clean place and friendly folks and well worth the stay. Bonehead

Here are some Pics Guys, Can't go Wrong!!! Sorry about the size of Photos

[Blademan13]

Thanks guys. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get away.

If I stay in a caboose, does that mean I have reason to finally buy a Conductor?

[On Edge]

Wow bonehead, that place looks pretty cool!

I used to work for Norfolk Southern, and actually had the opportunity to work with some of the last working 'cabs' they ran.

I think I'd like that place! Unfortunately, don't think this year will work for me, but I really do need to hit Rendezvous one of these years …

Have a great time, Monk!

Hope it works out for ya, Blademan!

Hey Members! if you can get to the Rendevous I highly recomend it! I was down there about a month ago and everybody was gearing up for it at that time. I only live about 30 miles away so it's not that hard for me to get there. A great bunch of people. Gonna hit the Queen show that same weekend meet up with my very good friend sence childhood PaKnives! Well worth attending!

[mikek]

I should be there on Friday, GEC in the AM and the Queen show at opening. Oh happy day mikek
