Floating the Creek

Great tip from one of our neighbors. Looking to organize a flotilla down the mighty Conodoguinet this summer. Here's a source for innertubes - last year Highlands Tire in Carlisle was selling them for $20 each, perfectly good innertubes for either floating or snow, and they'll last a heck of a lot longer than anything available through Toys-R-Us or elsewhere. Might be worth giving them a call. Link is: http://www.highlandstire.com/locations.htm

Springtime in the "Hood"

Pine Brook is a beautiful neighborhood year round, but it really shines in the Spring....

"Red sky in the morning......"

..........so the saying goes. Could this December 4th sunrise be the harbinger of our first snow of the season? There's nothing much more stunning to me than sunrises or sunsets over a body of water. "My" piece of the Conodoguinet is an everchanging canvas for the creator of magnificent displays.

Update on Condition of the Orrs Bridge

As noted in an earlier entry (October) to this site, I had querried Hampden Twp on the condition of the walking deck and safety railing on the Orrs Bridge. Thanks to Mike Gossert, our Township Manager for following up with Cumberland County (it's a County bridge) and sharing this response with me.
