Hershey's Nightmare Tour 2006

Sometime this past winter, Lew Hershey came up with the [bright?] idea of doing the Nightmare Ride (around the perimeter of Lancaster County) as a 3 day camping event. After all, there were any number of people who do it in a day. How tough can it be over three? There were a number of us who thought that was a great idea and the planning began. Only a few of us attempted the ride.
