Three Mile Island, PA

Chickies Rock (1, 2 and photo 4, where we had lunch)

"...accident was a partial nuclear meltdown of the Unit 2 reactor of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station on the Susquehanna River in Londonderry Township, near the capital city of Harrisburg, PA, March 28, 1979"


The first few shots are where we had lunch, if you know about PA they have lots of Sheetz, we think they were started in PA??!?! So we had seen a rabbit, so one you might see in a persons' home and it was in the shrubs around the parking lot, we were hoping that when we did come back to our truck after our lunch with a view, we would find it again and take it to a shelter, wondering why he was there in the first place? So odd??! You could see way in the distance the island where this accident did occur.









Point Rock Tunnel, Lancaster County River Trail, PA
NW Lancaster County River Trail, Columbia, PA 17512

"you will see relics of the historic PA Mainline Canal towpath, which the trail follows, including abandoned canal locks, iron furnaces, and an old quarry at Billmeyer."


This was a very busy bike path, folks doing all sorts, some bikers, lots of walking as well. Not sure I have ever seen a person with a radio that is blaring while riding a bike, it was something really loud like FOX news, LOL!! Hey, no knocking on this or that, whatever you wanna listen to, just do it within reason or please understand that no all wish to hear what you are listening to, you know what I am saying??! There when we were visiting in 2023 ...lots of black walnuts on the path, no good for bike riding. Thankful one man in front of us was kind enough to kick a bunch off the path for us, how kind. Love it when folks go the extra mile. Thank you mister. You're Awesome!!! ( ;

So cool. Great views. Your totally awesome for stopping by. Have a great day!!! Be Well, Take Care. Beth ( ;

Looks like a very interesting trail. Yes, I think Sheetz started in Pennsylvania. I really appreciate their restrooms, coffee, and easy tire inflation devices.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
