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.

Here's your chance to go down in history when you explore a section of the 300-year-old abandoned Pequea Silver Mines that is open to the public. So grab your flashlight and pickaxe because there's silver in them thar hills! Click the bio link in the profile to learn more. Scroll to the bottom of the article for details on finding the treasure.

If you love maps as I do, then you will enjoy this one from 1978 by John Jarvis, former headmaster at Lancaster Country Day School, showing the roads, bridges, and places worth knowing about in Lancaster County. What's your favorite place to visit in Lancaster?

Going down! View looking down through the third story stairwell at @hptrust building.

The first day of spring is officially Monday, March 20, 2023, at 5:24 pm EDT and if you had visited Little Indian Rock at dawn today (it was a bit cold for me to go out), you would have seen the sun rise between these two serpent petroglyphs.

Here is the State Normal School for the Second School District of Pennsylvania, which sprang from a small academy established at Millersville in 1854.
