Things I would do/see if I could visit Chambersburg again

For some strange reason the other night I was up for 2 hours thinking about visiting C-burg again, so I decided to write down the things that I think I'd want to see and do if I did have the chance to go back for a visit.

I'd fly into Hagerstown, and stop at Mikey's for some ice cream and good waffle cones before heading north the usual route. I'd get off and take our usual backroads to the neighborhood, driving around and seeing what, if anything, has changed. After that I'd head into town, making sure to smell the bakery and stop for a whoopie pie. I'd head over towards CAMS and CASHS, just to look, and then hopefully find my way to the Butcher Shoppe for a whiff of their intoxicating odor. Head out Rt 30 towards Caledonia, drive past Pop-Pop's (and Fritzy's) old house, then go for a hike in the woods, and a swing on the swings. Head back into town, head up towards Faust and Chambersburg Airport to watch the sky divers, then back into town past Wilson College and Corpus Christi. Park behind the old store building, walk over to the gas station for a hot dog, stroll up to the library and then back in towards the square. Past the square to Olympia for some candy, then back to the car and back towards the old house on my 2nd favorite backroad ever. Through New Franklin and out to Twin Kiss to relax, then towards Pop-Pop's and Uncle Don's houses to drive by and look. After all that's out of the way, all I'd have left to do is absorb as much of that small-town vibe as possible, so back roads driving, walks in the woods, wading in streams, and hanging out at pilot's lounges would be the order of the day. Other things I'd like to cram in would be a visit to Lost Acres to see the Stearman, eating lunch at the Long Johns with the ducks behind it, stops in as many used book stores as possible, or whatever else sparks a few memories. I could probably get enough done in a weekend trip to be satisfied, at least for a couple more years. I wonder what plane tickets from Seattle to Hagerstown run? *ironic smile*

I really miss how slow things were back then, ever since Chambersburg I've been living in cities, or at least newer towns, and it's a totally different speed. Tonight Pat's taking me out for some ice cream from a little family owned dairy, it's very good stuff, but it's lacking anywhere to eat the ice cream like Twin Kiss had. I'll try to find somewhere for us to go tho, I don't want to just grab the ice cream and hop back in the car.
