A beautiful ride is before us today as we make our way north through the Shenandoah Valley to Luray Caverns, eastern America's largest network of caves. Among these majestic formations are paved walkways leading to the most spectacular underground scenes, including the world's only “stalacpipe organ.” The Antique Car Museum houses a huge assortment of interesting vehicles. We overnight in the Chambersburg, PA area.

We'll visit Chocolate World to see how this famous candy is made. After lunch we visit the Hebrew Tabernacle Experience, a full-size reproduction of Moses' original Hebrew Tabernacle. This structure is based upon the instructions given by God to Moses in the book of Exodus. We check into our hotel in Lancaster for a two night stay, before heading out for the evening. On the June departure this evening we enjoy dinner & the show “Elvis” at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre. On the September departure you'll have dinner & see the show “Guys & Dolls”.
