2008 SPRING RUN

HARFORD REGION VISITS DELAWARE


Harford Region members visited Delaware during their 2008 Spring Run on May 17-18, 2008.  The Fall Run was chaired by Sandy & Butch Moxley.  A total of 34 people in 15 vehicles participated on the tour.  

Saturday consisted of traveling to Delaware City where the members visited the 10th Annual Antique Truck Club of America (ATCA) show that is held at Battery Park along the Delaware River.  After lunch at Crabby Dick's, the group rode the ferry "The Delfort" to Pea Patch Island and visited Fort Delaware, which also became a notorious prison for Confederate POWs after July 1863.   After touring Fort Delaware, the group traveled towards New Castle and checked into the Quality Inn, which was the group's lodging for the night.  After a chance to relax and rest up, the group walked to the nearby Air Transport Command Restaurant for a delicious dinner.

After breakfast on Sunday, the group traveled to historic New Castle where they took both guided and unguided tours of the many famous buildings from this pre-Revolutionary War town.  Some rain was experienced during the afternoon but it was not enough to keep the group from enjoying the day.  Later in the day, the group enjoyed dinner and the weekend's closing ceremony at the Arsenal in New Castle, after which the group began its trip back to Harford County.
