I know it has been more than a little while since I posted last. However, I had to find a new home for the site. It looks like the install and restore of the back up have completed. THIS time I will be back a lot sooner than 2019 to make another post. A lot has happened since then, but I have always kept the site up to date.
I know it has been a while since a story has shown up here. I apologize deeply, a few personal matters in life had to be addressed. In lieu of that I have decided to make a few changes to the site, the first thing is the web address. This change came after some toying around with ideas on the name of the site. This is more fitting!
If it isn’t displayed above in the address bar, the new domain is:
https://www.feelup74.com
Thanks for dropping by and I will be back soon with new things for you the WebTraveller!
Red Caboose Motel entrance taken from the Strasburg Railroad in 2004.
After the previous post from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum, the next part of my Railroad vacation was bringing me back to a place I had visited back in the summer of 2004. It was a family trip back then to the southern part of Pennsylvannia, that trip including a day in Strasburg and Gettysburg, PA. That trip the family and myself were staying in York, PA, which had made travelling to each of these areas easier. Gettysburg was to the West and Strasburg was to the East. It was on the trip to the East in Strasburg that I had the chance to experince the “Amish Country, ” which is a very peaceful place to visit for sure. Strasburg, PA is also where I decided to make a mini vacation and visit once again. So thinking back on that trip to 2004 is where I got the inspiration for the full day I had planned in Strasburg/ Ronks, PA. I wanted to recreate the day I had with family for memory purposes, and that was the plan, but the only challenge was that I needed a place to stay!
I will be the first to admit that I am a shutterbug and in this case I am so glad that I am, looking back in to the photos that were taken back in 2004, I had stumbled across a photo I took of the Red Caboose Motel and Restaurant, which is the first picture posted with this post (Just up above).

Seeing that photo in the photo library I was sold and that is where the real inspiration behind my railroad trip was, to look at the trains from the days past, ride on a real live running steam train and stay in a CABOOSE! I remember when I had seen the hotel the first time from the Strasburg Railroad that it was a neat place back then but now I was gonna stay there!
