The No. 9 tour in Lansford is pretty much on the way. That was my favorite one, you can PM Jack for details.

This however defies words, seriously. It's slightly off the route you would be taking but worth every mile. We went to this after the Meet and Greet at LL. Most people in the area don't even know it's there.

You walk into this big giant room and will be very impressed.... then you go around the corner and your jaw drops.

I wouldn’t pass this up. They have one of two running Snow engines left I believe. The other being in Rollag, Minnesota. If you can get there when they fire it up it would be a real treat.
