My friends had made the trip in previous years and knew- exactly what to do to make this trip enjoyable. One of them was able to obtain the use of a motor home for a very reasonable price. As well, there was a residence residence abutting the fairgrounds that rented space on their lawn for a reasonable fee. We arrived in the early morning hours after about eight hours of driving. We slept soundly and in the morning were awakened by the owner of the property who had come to collect his money. There was no sewage or had a . combination washroom/shower facility. Of course, we did not use the shower--we walked the half mile or so to the fairgrounds washrooms, but during the four evenings we did use the washroom washroom in the motor home. We did a lot of eating and drinking and STAFFORD MONUMENTS LIMITED 143 King St. E.

On the fourth day we noticed a strong offensive offensive odor in the motor home and were shocked to discover a considerable considerable amount of raw sewage floating around the base of the shower. We planned to take the motor home to the sewage dumping station at the fairgrounds fairgrounds but it was closed (probably (probably full). Now we had a decision to make--we had to Find a way to get rid of this sewage. There were no other dumping stations in the area and there was no way we were driving home with the sewage where it was. Eventually, we came up with a plan. "We had no choice but to find an isolated side road and dump it out in the ditch. We dfove around for about a half hour until we found a qujet side road with no hou'ses on it, just off the freeway. In order to facilitate the dump quickly we decided to get as prepared as possible. Sinqe I was quite familiar with trailers and motor homes, I volunteered to take the outside cap off the sewer pipe. Then, when we were on the sideroad, I was to get out and pull out the sewer handle about half way, allowing the vulgar substance to escape at a slow rate and then get back in the motor home. We parked on the side of a highway just before going onto the side road. As I got out of the motor home, I suddenly noticed that we were across the road from a Pennsylvania State Trooper Police Station. I also observed that the flag was flying flying at half mast "Some poor cop probably just got shot!" ! thought to myself. I noticed that the sewage was leaking out of the cap and thought that this was a bit unusual. At this point I should have noticed that the main sewer pull handle was out instead of in, but I didn't. I quickly removed the cap and "whoooosh" -four days of human waste came right out at me covering my pants, socks and running shoes. The mess landed right on the shoulder of the westbound lane in front of the Pennsylvania State Troopers Police Station (with the flag flying flying a half mast). "Lets get out of here!" I yelled. " Not until you take off your shoes, pants and socks!" someone yelled from inside. "There's no way you are coming back in here like that!", I obliged, threw them in the ditch, got back in and we, took off. As the motor home accelerated a hard left turn onto the freeway ramp, another projectile of human waste spewed out in front of the Pénnsylvania State Trooper Police Station. We looked out the back window of the motor home and noticed that we were leaving a considerable trail of soggy toilet paper, urine and excrement on the freeway ram P- _ I quickly changed into my spare socks, jeans and shoes. We nervously read signs on the freeway "No Littering: Fine -$1000." We figured the flashing flashing lights and sirens would be approaching any minute now, but they never did. Perhaps they were all at the funeral. We pulled off at the next exit and washed out the shower stall. We then drove to New York State using a less-traveled route. We never traveled to Carlisle by motor home again. There are a lot of good motels there you know... Call me to buy or sell... Orono and area's real estate representative...
