I remember participating in the last Gathering Of the Buses with the host being Charles and Janet Wotring
It was their hospitality
When this trip was formed being reality
It was vintage buses from the past
Seeing the historical buses was a blast
I also remember riding a Wolf Mini Bus
It was a journey back
It’s amazing I am remembering all that
It was Trailways buses still in their original Paint Scheme
It was almost like they were still in operating service
They looked like brand new
But that is what makes the whole story a slew
Just like a game of Chess, you can check me with having the fact
Stopping at key points of bus interest in Gettysburg, Hagerstown, Carlisle, York and Hershey
I saw a Buick being a bus
But that is how buses were formed being a plus
But the highlight of the journey was eating at a former Greyhound Bus Station in Hagerstown, Maryland turned into a town restaurant
However, I almost forgot the actual name, but it should have been called the “Depot Restaurant”
The Restaurant still had Greyhound’s original past and fixtures including the waiting area seats vintage
All I needed was an announcement of arrivals and departures
It was intriguing seeing a Depot Restaurant that once was a busy Greyhound Bus Depot with travelling passengers
So it was me and the highway road in unite
It was Greyhound’s past Depot in history in plain sight.
