*UPDATE* Hanover Starbucks Get-Together... OC/CC/NoC, Aug 13th 6pm

[Curmudgeon]

My wife doesn't want to drive almost an hour just for a cup of coffee, so it looks like it'll just be me and OfficerDailey.

I guess I'll have to call ahead and make sure they have plenty of donuts.

LOL. He's still not very mobile from surgery, so they'll have a fighting chance.

You're coming down? Or did you mean the collective 'us'?

Nevermind, I read the rest of the thread.

Jim, put me down as tentative.

I am a collective all by myself - a moving fort, as it were.

Have I ever met you Pennsy? As soon as I saw you are going to this I got all excited.

Looks like I can avoid downtown and only deal with some suburban traffic lights if I decide to come. I am OK to Codorus park LOL, then I get nervous. Thankfully I know where the bathroom is at the end of the park LOL, though not sure if they lock them at dusk( ride home).

My main problem here is food. I want real eats, not naughty sugary things like muffins or whatever they have there. For goodness sakes I am fat enough LOL. 6pm is dinner time LOL. And I prefer low carb with veggies. Olive oil is nice too, as well as omega 3's.

Put me down as tentative.

List updated. You may have met Pennsy at Venice Pizza?

Starbucks menu, but I don't know how much of this is available at the Hanover location. Feel free to call ahead.

I admit I haven't driven it, but is it really amost an hour from Red Lion to Hanover (PA)?

Whoops! I just checked Google maps, and apparently it is. It's not that far as the crow flies, but it seem like most of the roads to Hanover are zig-zaggity. I'm only about 18 miles away, but it takes me a little over half an hour to get to Hanover.

If Charlie Guggenheimer goes (he was the one who rode his motorcycle to the Glen Rock picnic), perhaps you could carpool with him (unless he rides his M/C). He's close to the Red Lion area I think.

I appreciate the offer, but the issue was more if it was worth bringing the kids. But you're right about the roads, no direct route, especially when still east of 83.

Not yet, but there have been several close calls. The whole family (that still lives at home here) will be there.

Oh my that's a nice menu. Chipotle chicken wraps! Mango banana smoothie!

[Ecclectic Collector]

Wow, I just found the thread and I THINK I'll be able to come. Be nice to fit some more faces to the local names.

Assuming my other half doesn't disapprove of losing me for a few hours I'd like to throw in my hat too.
