Where: We will gather in the parking lot of the Starbucks in Mt. Airy, MD. There are several gas stations and places to get breakfast also… Directions below:

Bring: A full tank of gas, an appetite, money for food ($25 per person should more than cover the meal at the Fairfield Inn), and a FRS or GMRS handheld radio (tuned to channel 7, subchannel 21) if you own one! It’s not a necessity to own a radio but it makes it easier for us to keep in contact.

RSVP: RSVP REQUIRED to tour@pcachs.org... Let me know how many will be attending… ALSO!!! We are limiting the number of cars on this tour so get your RSVP in ASAP...

PLEASE NOTE: RSVP is required to attend this tour… We need to know how many tour disks to burn and an accurate count for lunch at the Fairfield Inn…

Event Fee: FREE and open to all PCA Members

Route: The tour route is broken into 3 segments…

PART I: The trip to Gettysburg takes us through historic and beautiful sections of Carroll and Frederick Counties as well as Adams County. PA… Arriving in Gettysburg we will take a short break and prepare for our guided tour through the battlefield…

PART II: Includes a customized guided Battlefield Tour and the trip to the historic Fairfield Inn for a fantastic lunch… The Fairfield Inn is the oldest continuously running tavern in the United States dating back to 1757…

PART III: The return trip takes us up and over the South Mountain Range and back into Maryland via some extremely twisty and scenic roads ending in Frederick near I-70… We should be back in Frederick between 2:30 and 3:00pm...

Count me in. As a patroller at Liberty, I've driven by the Fairfield in dozens of times - time to eat there! There is a really neat back road we found by mistake cutting back to Rt. 15 south of Emmitsburg. Irons Springs Road to Furnace Rd (and winding through more back roads from there). Fun even in a Prius.

The promo has not been posted yet to the PCA websites nor has it hit the newsletter and the tour is 1/2 booked...

If you want to attend this tour please RSVP... This tour is by RSVP only...

We can only take so many cars around the Gettysburg Battlefield together and the Fairfield Inn can only seat just enough for this tour...

Hope to see you there... I believe this will be our best tour yet...

today with the "Bull" He really out did himself on this tour. The roads were great both going and returning. The audio tour of the battlefield was outstanding. The Fairfields Inn had wonderfull food and a brief history tour of the place. The bar is the oldest continuous operating bar in the US.

If you miss this tour, you will will miss the best tour of the year....guaranteed.

Don't wait to sigh up know.

I'm in - RSVP'd moments ago.

Do folks have recommendations (or adversions to) makes/models of FRS/GMRS handheld radios? I missed the last run by about 5m and that's not going to happen again!!

Thanks.

As of today there are only 8 spots left for this tour... I suspect the tour will be booked very soon... If you're interested in this tour please get your RSVP in right away to: tour@pcachs.org

We can only take so many thru the park and the Fairfield Inn can only hold so many... So this tour has to be limited in the number of cars & people...

We did the TRIAL RUN this past Sunday and it went extremely smooth... The lunch at the Fairfield Inn was fantastic...

Hope to see you on this tour...
