  • I day tripped to Climbers Run in Pequea, PA in Lancaster County on Sunday, April 7. I hiked the cardio trail in search of what was left of a camp that used to be there. After a very steep hike (I learned quickly why it was called the cardio trail), I found what I was looking for.
    The abandoned buildings and forgotten basketball court once belonged to the Boys and Girls Club of Lancaster, who built them in the early 1960s. At the time, the property was called Camp Snyder and was used as a youth summer camp until the late 2000s. Since then, some of the buildings have been demolished, but some remain, even though they were in poor shape. The basketball court was still there, which was very cool to see.
    It was a perfect day for a hike. Enjoy✌️

      It was a very steep hike, all uphill. Coming down was a lot easier lol. Yeah, I enjoy finding places like this that have ruins. I’ve got more on my list that I’ll be in search of. Thanks Walt! ✌️

    From the gorgeous view you had at the top, it looks like the Cardio Trail gained quite an elevation as you made your way. I bet this camp was pretty nice, back in the day. Thanks for sharing your latest adventure! (I think, if you do change the name of your channel, you should somehow include "adventures" because we never know where you're going to be). Nice vlog of a peaceful area!

      As you saw, that cardio trail was a pretty steep and a workout for me, but I enjoyed it and finding what was left of the camp, especially the basketball court. I agree, Jean. I do want to change the name and would like to use “adventures” in it. As always, I appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you so much!✌️

    Awesome stuff. Looks like if you got out a push broom you could still play ball on those courts

      You’re right about that, Jay. Maybe next time I’ll take a broom and a basketball. Thanks bud!✌️

    Hey there. Great video! I used to live in that area. Just some friendly info, it's pronounced (peck-way). Just wanted to let you know. Hope this doesn't come off as offensive, just trying to educate. Like I said I really enjoyed this great video. Thanks for posting it! Take care!

      Hi Matt, I appreciate you letting me know how to pronounce Pequea, no offense taken at all, I appreciate being educated. I wish I could go in and do an voiceover but UA-cam doesn’t let you do edits like that. Anyway, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video, I really enjoyed going there and seeing what was left of that camp. That’s cool that you used to live in that area (peck-way). Thanks for watching and commenting!! I’m going to give you a shout out in my next video✌️
