    Stop for every thing . love how you stop and explain what you see. Makes it so much more interesting.
    The moss on the rocks was interesting.
    Maybe digging up flowers.

      No digging at this site or taking any vegetation. This is a nature conservancy site.

    I knew the name sounded familiar, then when you mentioned the dynamite explosion I remembered where I knew it from. My great- great uncle was killed in that explosion. He was 21 years old and close in age to my great grandfather at the time. We're from McKean County, so I guess the oil companies were probably recruiting workers up there and took them down to Lancaster. It must have seemed like a good way for a young man to make a nest egg.

    Such a neat time-forgotten place! I hope to check it out myself this year.

    At the old railroad bridge stonework where the stone column in the stream is located there was a pipe crossing here. In the winter you can see the end of the pipe sticking out of the bank.

    the cement parts along the road were probably to stop erosion when it rushes down

      Me too! I like turtles! Phlox are my all time favorite, both wild & in the garden, both creeping & the tall. So fragrant & bloom into the autumn.

    Did you find the location of the dynamite explosion? I just recently found it. There’s old gravestones and foundations for something on the path to the spot.

    Too much of you in the video talking and talking. Not enough historical points.
