Watch out…

…for horse and buggies on the road. We saw these signs all the way through central Pennsylvania and into New York state. I’ve always associated this means of transportation with the Amish, who I thought lived mainly in Lancaster County, PA, but apparently they live in a wider area than that.

A nice find. Some Amish are leaving Lancaster, due to the lack of available space for farming and the surge of price. The community is still holding strong. ~VVVVV++~

I always liked seeing the horse and buggies wherever we would drive through that area. V

A step back in time.

I spent a year in Lancaster County when I was much younger and remember well the Amish horse and buggies.
