-->Tammy Foltz woke up in time to pack her bags, cooler, three kids and their two friends into her sport utility vehicle one morning last week and hit the road from her home in New Oxford, Adams County, by 6 a.m.
It was a long drive to St. Vincent College, and Foltz was excited to get the trip started as early as possible.
Foltz and her bunch were among many to make the pilgrimage to the college in Unity to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers practice on Friday, the first day of the team's annual training camp. A sea of black and gold converged on the small liberal arts college and its surrounding area over the weekend. Signs popped up on Route 30, pointing fans in the direction of restaurants, bars and the best places to buy Steelers merchandise.
Although it was her first time to make the four-hour-plus drive to see her favorite team, Foltz -- sporting a Troy Polamalu jersey to go with her new tattoo of the Steelers' iconic logo near her ankle -- said it was something she had always meant to do.
"I've always wanted to come, but never wanted to make the drive," she said. "But it's worth it. The Steelers are worth it."
Foltz's journey was long, but only about half as long as the drive that Pat Maki and Sandy Conway made. The two, who both live near Ocean City, Md., are staying with family for a few days, along with Conway's daughter Brittany, and said when they found out camp was starting during their trip, they "just had to go."
"We can't watch all the games (in Maryland), so we had to come while we were here," said Maki, who moved to the East Coast from the area in the 1980s.
Brittany Conway, a Giants fan, said even she was looking forward to watching the players hit the practice field.
"It's a one-time opportunity," she said, adding that her dad, who is from New York, is the reason she likes the Giants.
Henry and Marcia Weatherwalk of Altoona waited in line with their children on Friday. Their son Bradley said he was looking forward to watching the team practice to get ready for the beginning of his football season. Marcia Weatherwalk, however, said while she loves the Steelers, she would rather be somewhere cooler on the 90-plus-degree day.
