On leaving York, to continue the journey to Washington by the route which we are going, the rider turns south and westward on what is known as the York and Gettysburg Turnpike. The road is direct to Thomasville, about six miles away, with the exception of three forks. These should be carefully watched, and the rider should in his inquiries always ask for the York and Gettysburg Turnpike. The first fork is something less than a mile out from York, a few minutes after crossing the railroad track. Here the rider should keep to the left. He again takes the left fork a short two miles further on, and about a mile or more before reaching Thomasville, at the junction of three roads, he keeps to the right on the turnpike. From Thomasville to Hockstown, a distance of about three miles, the turnpike is unmistakable. By referring to the map at Hockstown, the reader will see that the main route turns sharp to the right, running over to East Berlin, a distance of three or three and a half miles. It is possible to follow the turnpike to Gettysburg as indicated on the map by the fair bicycle road, but the route to East Berlin is much better. From East Berlin run on to Abbottstown. At this point the rider must make up his mind whether he will make a detour of some miles and take in the field of Gettysburg. If there is time enough, you are earnestly urged to make the extra run, since there is much at Gettysburg which is interesting to the student of American history. Leaving Abbottstown, run out to New Oxford on the York and Gettysburg Turnpike. The road is unmistakable, and from this point to Gettysburg, through Granite Hill, the turnpike is most of the time near the railroad, so that it is easy to follow it. Gettysburg will be a good place for dinner; it is more than half-way to Westminster, and an hour or two can be very profitably spent in the vicinity of the town in seeing what there is to be seen. From Gettysburg follow the route to Germantown, and thence to Littlestown. At Littlestown the rider again joins the main bicycle route from York to Westminster, and proceeds thence into Westminster.
