First 2015 Tour On July 18th 7 members in 4 cars experienced our first tour of the 2015 season. Although the weather man had predicted bad traveling conditions for the day, the day began with only a very light sprinkle that required only three sweeps of the wipers of the Monte Carlo in the entire trip from my home to the starting point at the Newark Valley Railroad Depot. The rest of the tour remained dry until just before we returned to New York. A stop in Towanda on the way down provided the travelers with a chance to stretch their legs and attend to other needs. Our lunch stop was about fifteen minutes before arriving at the
Sones Farm and Home Museum. We were greeted by the owner of the museum as soon as we arrived even though they were also hosting an auction in an adjacent building. The group were permitted to explore the museum at their leisure although the owner was present to explain the features at most of the venue. The pictures included show only a small idea of the scope of our experience.
