The Joseph E Ibberson Conservation Area is in Dauphin County not to far from Harrisburgh and about 35 minutes from Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation and Fort Hunter Mansion and Park. When you arrive look back at the hill side across the road. It is just lovely. But the true treat is the big trees! This is the place to […]
I am touring all the covered bridges in Pennsylvania as a way to social distancing travel. Most of the counties in Pennsylvania have covered bridges and it is a great way to visit the country side while getting out of the house. Cumberland County is wonderful little place to visit with all kinds of interesting things to see and do […]
Fowlers Hollow State Park is a beautiful little park in Perry County within the Tuscarora State Forest. It about 10 miles from the closest store so bring in anything that you might need with you.

Little Buffalo State Park has most of my favorite things to do. It has a Covered Bridge, creeks, historical buildings: Tavern and Sawmill, and so much more.

The park once had a swimming pool, refreshment stands, a lot of hiking trails, and […]
The Eastern Covered Bridge Tour of Washington Country, PA takes about 32 minutes to drive to all the bridges. But it is a great add on to the Southwest or Northwest Tours or Greene Country Tours.
