From the Carlisle Fairgrounds take 11 north to I-81. Take I-81
north to the Enola-Summerdale exit (exit 65). That puts you right
on 11-15. Take a left (north) onto 11-15 and the place is about
2 miles up the road at the square in Marysville. Look for the flagpole
and the palmtree lights. On the way up the river you'll pass Rockville
Bridge which is the worlds longest stone-arch construction bridge
(Guiness Book of World Records). If you keep going you'll see a model
of the Statue of Liberty in the middle of the river.
I don't know what the food is like at the Parrothead, but if you're really
hungry and don't want to spend much, go in the opposite direction on
11-15 about a mile from where the interstate is and you'll find a little
place called Nathan's Cafe. Really, really good chow and a good looking
and friendly all-female bar and waitress staff. It's just past a PNC Bank
on your right. Tell them "Big John sent me".
