Pottsville and Ticks

10/22-25/2013

History also comes in liquid form and we stopped in Pottsville, Pennsylvania for a tour of the lodes brewery in the US. We neglected to check the times of the tours and by the time we arrived the last tour group was entering the tasting room to sample the products. We joined them and enjoyed  several samples of Yuengling Beer.

We found several more ticks on Tucker that hitch-hiked with him from New York and they had settled in for a long stay. Initially I thought they were one of Tucker's old dog warts when I was petting him but I was wrong-yuck! Hoping to avoid a repeat of  uninvited travelers, we used a product on Tucker called Frontline. Steve had also found ticks on himself but opted for a shower rather than a tick deterrent.
