Next up on my exploration of local trails is the Conestoga Greenway Trail. I headed out on a sunny Sunday morning to check it out. There are a couple entrance points to the trail, and I started out at the one on Conestoga Dr. which has a small parking lot and is located behind Conestoga View.

Last summer after picking up a few items at the Stauffers of Kissel Hill in Roherstown, I walked by their “Tent” in the parking lot and got a whiff of something wonderful smoking on the grill. Ribs. I rarely eat ribs, but for whatever reason I couldn’t resist on that day. I jumped in line and bought myself an order of ribs and a baked potato. It was fantastic. Ever since that experience, I keep an eye on their weekly menu and stop by on occasion. (more…)
This morning I checked out the Farmingdale Trail at Noel Dorwart Park located just off Good Dr. There are a handful of trails which are nicely laid on a map at the front of the park.
While at Overlook Park this morning for a run, I saw what I believe is the local roller derby team getting a little Memorial Day weekend practice out in the sun and fresh air. I sat on the curb by my car and watched for a bit as they practiced going through some formations as the coach shouted instructions. I assume they were from the Dutchland Rollers, who play at the Overlook skating rink on the other side of the park, but I don’t know for sure.
I checked out a new running trail this morning: The Lancaster Junction Trail. It’s just off the Salunga exit of Rt. 283. I’d noticed the entrance of the trail several times when heading towards Harrisburg.
