Herr's Mill Covered Bridge & Mill by Monte Morton
Herr’s Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Pequea Creek in Lancaster County, Pa. Built in 1844 it is also sometimes known as Soudersburg Bridge. John Herr, built the first grist mill/saw mill at this site on the Pequea in 1738-40. The second mill was built by Johns grandson, Squire John Herr, about 1803. The flour, grist, and saw mill was also at times used to grind coen meal and as a distillery. / The mill’s two turbines, that produced about 25 barrels of flour in its heyday, were supplied by Pequea waters via a 1500’ headrace from an 8’ dam. A 1200’ tailrace completed the cycle. The mill was closed in 1924. The bridge In 1980 was added to the National Register of Historic Places as structure number 80003537.

Murray Reynolds Waterfall "Faces" by Gene Walls
Murray Reynolds Falls is located in Pennsylvania’s beautiful Ricketts Glen State Park. After looking closely at this photo I noticed that is looks like there are three human faces, stacked on top of each other in the column of rock that divides the falls in two. What do you see? The photo was captured in Ricketts Glen State Park in north east Pennsylvania, USA on September 5, 2009 at 5:22 pm. Ricketts Glen is located on State Rt 118, near the town of Red Rock. This photo was taken late in the afternoon with a Canon EOS 10D DSLR camera through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Ultra-Wide Angle zoom lens @ 17mm focal length. The shutter speed was .5 sec at f/9.5. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release. Your comments are always welcome!

Here’s a little note from Lori Deiter that BigD asked me to post … From Lori, / If there are any fellow Keystone Members that want to cross the border into Maryland…. the Conowingo Dam is an awesome place to see Eagles this week!! I’m planning to be there on Saturday (11/21) from about 7:00 am until 3:00 pm. I want to be there early so I don’t miss any action. Weather is supposed to be partly cloudy, high of 57 degrees. If you’re interested in taking a drive and meeting at the Dam….let me know and I’ll look for you. If you are traveling South on Route 1…. as soon as you cross the Susquehanna River (Conowingo Road/Dam), take the first left on Shuresville Road, then a sharp left at Shuresville Landing. There is a large parking area that leads up to the dam and you’ll see tons of photographers!!! Tons of Eagles will be there. If the Eagles are active, it will be a real treat!! If you’re coming from any other direction…. just check mapquest…. follow the Susquehanna River south to the Maryland border and you’ll find it! Lori Deiter
