Depending on your route, King and Queens restaurant in Stoystown PA on Rt 30 is very good http://www.kingsandqueensrestaurant.com/ .
Jean Bonnet west of Bedford at the intersection of Rt 30 & 31 is another place I like to stop. https://www.jeanbonnettavern.com/
In Somerset Pine Grill is my favorite. Almost directly accross from the turnpike entrance. http://pinegrill.com/
If you like diners try the Summit Diner across from The Pine Grill. https://fatboyssummitdiner.com/ (Looks like Summit diner may have changed hands and is under going a remodel and has limited hours according to the website)
Have a safe and fun trip.

Any ride details/routes or plans yet?

In case you're taking a headcount, it's looking less and less likely I'll be able to go. I'll be sorry to miss it.

DraKhen99 · Aug 30, 2017

Looks like I *should* be able to make it, especially if it's just a day trip. Mrs. Drakhen will not be available.

Can't wait until my son is old enough to ride with me, then it's a no-brainer, "Honey, the boy and I are going on a ride, leaving Saturday morning, coming back whenever!"

Okay, I have finally had some time to devote to doing some planning. Looks like it will be an overnite trip for those that wish. If you just want to spend the day it's an easy trip back on the slab and should be home before dark if that matters.

I currently have six rooms with double beds booked at the Comfort Inn in Somerset. Couldn't book more in just one name. I have four of those rooms already spoken for by the following:

1. Stoveman & Mrs. Stove
2. Welder516 & Mrs. Welder and son
3. Andy and Linda and son Drew
4. Drahken 99
5. DaveMP
6. AppleHD

If you would like one of the available rooms let me know here and I will edit this post.

I was thinking of an 8am meet up in HoCo and then hook up with Raineman's group in Carroll along the way, maybe a park and ride along 70? I would like to take mostly back routes and then possibly meet up with the Hooligans in Cumberland for lunch and then a nice ride up to the memorial.

I'll post up a Google map of what routes I was thinking about shortly.

DraKhen99 · Aug 30, 2017

I'll talk to Mrs. Drakhen tonight and hopefully confirm my availability tomorrow. I know she's going to an event where she can't take our toddler, so I gotta find a backup so I can play! (Hello, Grandma???)

What's the cost for the hotel room?

I'm 80% sure I'm in, like I said, gotta get SWMBO's permission and make sure Grandma can watch the little one.

$133 or $120 if you have AAA. Prices are a little high that weekend for obvious reasons.

There are other places right in Somerset as well.

My buddy Curtis who I went to Nova Scotia with just texted me that his wife has her company tickets to the Terps game so he is out. Post #27 updated.

Raineman · Aug 31, 2017

We're in for the ride. We'll be staying at our friends near Cumberland after we visit the Memorial with you all.

Not a problem.

Three rooms available, I'm going to put a deadline of Monday evening for anyone to claim them and then I will cancel those reservations.

Worked up the ride back today, it's only about a half hour or so from Somerset to Johnstown, PA so we will head up there and check out the Johnstown Flood Memorial and then work our way back through the PA countryside, coming back into MD just west of Sabillasville.

Alright, so I got Grandma to watch DraKhen Jr, SWMBO gave her seal of approval, so I'm in! Let's hope the weather is nice

Also, I have a work friend who is interested - do the rooms have 1 bed or 2? (I ain't sharin' a bed with this feller)

Since I'm in, I will bring my Garmin and can be of assistance in navigation.

Thanks,

-John

Awesome sauce, post 27 updated, one reserved room left.

Stoveman · Sep 1, 2017

Some details:

Meet up at 8am ish at the Green Valley Supermarket shopping center on Rt 1 and Montgomery Road in Elkridge.

We will meet up with Raineman & CC crew at the Park & Ride on Rt 97 at Old Liberty Rd at approx 8:45 - 9am.

Taking 26 to Libertytown and then 77 to Thurmont and over the mountain to Smithsburg, getting on 70 around Hagerstown and then to Cumberland.

We will break for a lunch of hateful chicken and waffle fries of intolerance in Cumberland at the CFA 221 Williams Street. Dave MP and hopefully the Hooligans will meet us there and proceed through the countryside up to the Flight 93 Memorial.
