P is for Pennsylvania.

Meet “Colonel” John Mead, the enigmatic cave hermit of House Rock. Mead spent the last 25 years of his life living in rock shelters along the Susquehanna River hills entertaining Pequea summer vacationers. Click the bio link to learn more about the enigmatic ‘Gentleman Bum’ of the River Hills when you click the bio link in the profile.

Camping has always been an adventure. But Lancaster County's first Boy Scouts at Camp Pequea took it to the extreme with real bridge-building (as shown here in this "colorized" image) and "poling" their supplies upstream.

In 1875, Conestoga was considered one of the wealthiest and best townships in the County by the '1875 Historical Atlas of Lancaster County.' Find out why when you click the bio link in the profile.

Spring is in full swing along the trail with frog eggs and tadpoles who enjoy playing hide ‘n’ go seek!

Do you need to get out of the house? Here's an easy road trip side quest. You don't even have to get out of the car when you cruise past this roadside totem pole hidden along the banks of the Pequea. Click the bio link in the profile to learn more.
