just a few thoughts

F

or as long as I can remember, the weeks following Labor Day were always looked upon as the end of something: the end of summer, the end of swimming pools, the end of vacation. Time to get serious again, as though I had taken the whole summer off. Though decades have passed, I realize that I still feel the same lament I did as a child whose three-month break from school was over. The difference now is that the gloom doesn’t last long, and rather than seeing the end of summer, I see the beginning of fall.

contrary to what my gloomy former self used to believe, there are no fewer things to do than any other time of year. In fact, festivals in Pennsylvania ramp up in the fall.

The funny thing is, the older I get, the more I enjoy autumn. In fact, here in Pennsylvania, fall is absolutely beautiful. Crisp, sun-kissed mornings; vibrant, comfortable afternoons; and cool evenings make this the ideal time to be in PA. And,

Fall in PA is far from the end of anything; rather, it’s the season of harvest, hayrides and happy experiences with family and friends.

Many outdoor activities are enhanced by cooler temperatures and autumn’s distinct beauty. The fall foliage is like the icing on the cake. During the month of October, leaf peepers love that there is always some area of the state where the leaves are at their peak of brilliance.

When “girlfriend getaways” emerged as a popular travel trend about a decade ago, they mostly had three things in common: shopping, pampering and bonding. Not so today. While traditional shopping and spa weekends are still very popular, more women are looking for experiential and even adventurous getaways. The getaways below are anything but typical shopping trips.

RUN LIKE A GIRL Fitness travel is one of the fastestgrowing custom getaways for women.

Ladies are packing their running sneakers along with their heels for a little competition and a lot of fun. Combining the love of running with a weekend getaway is a great way to bond with your training partners when the race is over.

Each June, nearly 1,000 runners take to the streets of downtown Lancaster to participate in the Red Rose Run. 2016 marked the 40th anniversary of the 5-mile race, which benefited Lancaster’s historic Central Market. Runners were

There’s racing and then there’s racing. Why should NASCAR drivers have all the fun? Danica Patrick proves that like their male counterparts, some girls are looking for a whole other recreational gear.

Adrenaline seekers will find their fix at the StockCar Racing Experience at Pocono Raceway. The hardest part may be deciding which experience to choose – packages start with a three-lap ride along with a professional driver and extend to an 80-mile drive weekend where you do the driving. Advanced racing is also available for more experienced drivers.

The thrill ride of your life awaits you at Pocono Raceway’s tricky triangle. This is one that will make your male friends jealous and that you’ll be talking about for years! There is nothing ordinary about this getaway or the women who seek it out.

The StockCar Racing Experience also offers ProKart, exotic car and drive-your-own experiences available.

et’s face it, there are fewer and fewer places in the world where a selfie hasn’t been taken. So it stands to reason that people will go to great and sometimes dangerous lengths to get the “perfect” selfie.

We’ve got a few safe places in mind; some are absolutely gorgeous vistas, and others are fun and quirky locations that are sure to get you more than a few “likes” on your post!

Getting Goofy With A Groundhog

What does a downtown do when its claim to fame is a prognosticating groundhog named Phil? Fill the city with 6-foot tall groundhogs, of course. Yes, in case you forget that Punxsutawney is the home of a very famous groundhog, they’ve erected 30 (very cute) statues of him dressed in every manner of attire, from his “wizard of weather” look to Lady Liberty. Why settle for a shot with one groundhog when you can be photographed with 30?

Remember those family photos where the photographer asks you to squeeze in closer so everyone will be in the shot? Now imagine taking a photo with 100,000 other people. If you attend a home game at Beaver Stadium this fall, you will have that opportunity.

As you turn on to Seventh Street in Milford that leads to Foster Hill Road, a two mile stretch leading to the entrance of the Malibu Dude Ranch, you can physically feel the pressure of the electronically pulsating world ebb away from you.

This section of road in Pike County, Pennsylvania is lined with single family homes, farms and a forest. Bursting in autumn with the golds and rusts of the famed Pocono foliage, the trees create a covered canopy of leaves. As you reach the gate of the Malibu Dude Ranch, you immediately sense that you are about to enter a world where life is simpler, slower, and more authentic.

Originally opened in 1928 on an 800 acre parcel of land, the Malibu Dude Ranch is a boutique ranch that offers guests an authentic cowboy experience. Owner Allan “Doc” Detweiler and his wife Phyllis purchased the ranch when the previous owner opted for retirement. A self-proclaimed “spirited kid,” Doc’s parents rewarded him for good behavior in school with a trip to the ranch in 1974 “to ride a horse.” Years later as an adult and a practicing family whereandwhen.com / 2016 W&W fall / 65 /

Maharg Farm at Succop Conservancy, Butler

By Hilary Daninhirsch

D

riving along the Butler County Barn Trail is not a typical activity for this suburban Pittsburgh mom.

When I get in the car, invariably it is to chauffeur my kids between activities and friends’ houses. Rarely do I get a chance to drive for the pure pleasure of taking in the scenery.

The self-guided Butler County Barn Trail was the perfect escape.

Meandering through the countryside with a friend, we marveled that the busy city was only a few miles south of our destination. How was this possible, we wondered, when we were seemingly transported into the heart of rural Pennsylvania?

We followed a visitors map, available for download on visitbutlercounty.com, which reflects three separate driving tours—different

groupings of barns can be accessed via Route 19, Route 8, or Route 68.

Though Butler County boasts 1,100 farms with approximately 116 acres of farmland each, more than a dozen barns were appointed to be part of the trail.

The barns on the trail are architecturally diverse, though the majority are “Pennsylvania Bank Barns,” a style of barn built into a slope or a hill, making it accessible from ground or upper levels. Usually, the animals were housed on the lower floor, while grain and feed were kept upstairs.

Virtually all of the barns are surrounded by majestic scenery that will have you reaching for your camera to capture as much beauty that will fit onto a screen.

One standout for me was the muted red Wimer Barn in Portersville, dating back to 1893, and in the same family for five generations.

Although we did not locate it, the date on the barn is said to still be visible. The picture perfect landscape surrounding the property was an artist’s canvas. The scene was so tranquil that I’m convinced if I had seen a hammock on the property, I would have fallen right into it, with apologies to the owner. . . . . . . .

Drovers Inn Farm in Harmony, built in 1835, was a former dairy farm. The stone barn with the four silos is regal and venerable. Historically, the adjacent house functioned as an inn, built by the Harmonist Society. . . . . . . .

The stark white of the Miller Farm’s cattle barn in the quaint college town of Slippery Rock sits below the Miller Esker, which provides a stunning backdrop. An esker is a glacial landform that winds, snakelike, forming a ridge of stratified gravel and sand. The half-mile, 360-foot wide Miller Esker, considered to be the largest in Pennsylvania, is now owned and preserved by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. . . . . . . .

The oldest barn on the trail, the Harmonist Ziegler-Wise Barn, was constructed in 1805 and is the oldest surviving barn of the three that were built by the Harmony Society of German Lutheran Separatists. In fact, the Harmony Society bought the barn in 1999 for preservation purposes. The red barn, with its brick silo that was added around 1950, is imposing. If you listen closely (and with a little imagination), perhaps you can still hear the sounds of bygone sheep bleating in the distance.

Love Barn at Fieldstone, Saxonburg

Fairfield Farm, Butler

You can really feel the history that envelops some of the older barns; several of the barns have been in the same family for multiple generations, including the Love Barn at Fieldstone in Saxonburg, which is now owned by the 8th generation of descendants. That barn, constructed following the owner’s stint as a soldier in the Civil War, is a popular wedding venue. . . . . . . .

Note that not all of the barns are open to the public; it is advisable to maintain a respectful distance if you get out of your car to take photographs. However, you can arrange for a tour of the Marburger Dairy Barn in Evans City to meet the cows on site as well as to admire the barn, built in 1980, and its five silos. . . . . . . .

Tours are also available of the 1883 Maharg Farm at Succop Conservancy in Butler (pictured,title page), owned by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania. An out-of-the-ordinary feature is a restored hay wagon. The barn is a blend of old and new; when it was rebuilt in 2008, some of the older elements were mixed in with new ones, and the three cupolas were restored as well.

Speaking of cupolas, the three functional cupolas on the roofline at Fairfield Farm (above) in Butler add a decorative element to this stunning barn and make for a postcard-perfect scene. A cistern built into the bank collects rainwater, eventually flowing into a trough for the cows to drink. . . . . . . .

And though you will still see cows grazing on the farms of Butler County, every so often you may run into alpacas, such as at the Cotacachi Barn in Butler, which was originally a dairy farm; the milk house is visible from the road. Besides the wooly alpacas who call this place home, a unique element of this barn is that the support beams and rafters are made of trees with bark. . . . . . . .

Driving along the barn trail conjured up a nostalgic longing for simpler times, evoking in me a desire to pull over, sit in a rocking chair on a porch and relax with a glass of homemade lemonade. It is both a history lesson and a unique activity that can be enjoyed any time of year. It is well worth the trip, from any part of the state, to step back in time along the Butler County Barn Trail.
