| I highly recommended going to Gettysburg and hire a tour guide to drive your car. My wife is a big civil war buff and I really enjoyed that tour. |

In Scranton there is a train museum, I think it is a national park and you can take a steam train ride.

Civil War stuff is OK but the big must see in Gettysburg is Yinglings Salvage Yard.

| X2 on Ricketts Glen state park if you would like to hike to somewhere around 20 natural waterfalls! That is the one of the best PA has to offer in my opinion. I just saw this posting, I live in Gettysburg, that is 3 hours south of where you will be. Very nice to tour, I would recommend the "auto tour (30$ cd)" You can stop and go on your time. By the way, if anyone is in the area-- stop by my place and you can barrow the CD/ map book anytime. Kevin |

Hope you have a great time. I am down by the Delaware Water Gap, about an hour south east of Tunkhannock. You are welcome to stop by and see the herd. About an hoour and fifteen minutes Southwest of you is Fry's Machinery, in Pennsdale, PA, just north of Williamsport (Little League Museum). I have found plenty of goodies hidden there.
