Millersburg Ferry

Last week we were coming from Dauphin County to York County and had an opportunity to use the old Millersburg Ferry, north of Harrisburg, Pa. The ferry only holds three cars and it is paddlewheel chain drive, driven by a 4 cylinder diesel motor. It's been in service since the 1920's. A really fun trip and for only eight bucks.

Oh Man, how could I forget Howard Stern? One of the greatest contributors to the demoralization of America.
