Penn-Dutch Winter Picnic
by Emily Rievaulx

You are invited to a Winter Picnic at my home in the woods. This will be held on Saturday, February 28th from 10 am - 4 pm. There's room indoors for all people and dogs, with crates, etc. Outside are paths through the woods, including Horse Shoe Trail and one along a stream. You may also like to walk up the tree-lined road and back, as we often do.

I will have dog and people snacks. Please bring your own sandwich or whatever you prefer for lunch. If you forget your lunch or prefer to pick it up on the way, there is a Weaver's Market nearby (and on your way), which has a cafe selling hot, to-go lunches and other picnic fare. It is at the corner of Rts 897 and 272.

Weaver's is inexpensive. The idea is: minimal work and expense for you--maximum relaxation and freedom to come, play, eat, and leave at your discretion. There will be no weather cancellation.

Directions:

Use the Turnpike or 222. All corners have lights until Mohns Hill Rd.

From east, the Turnpike exit says "to Rte 30, Lancaster." Take the access road "to Rte 272 N", turn rt. onto 272 N and go 1 mile to rte 897 N, turn left, go 1 mile to Mohns Hill Rd (only on the right, with a small black and white sign). Turn right and go 1 more mile to 420 Mohns Hill Rd. which is on the left.

From East on 222: the exit sign says "Adamstown, Rte 272 S." Go 3 miles and turn right onto 897 N, 1 mile to Mohns Hill Rd. on the right, and 1 mile to 420 Mohns Hill Rd., on the left.

From West: 222 and the Turnpike use the same access road. Signs say "Adamstown, Denver, Reamstown, Rte 272." Take the access road to 272N, turn rt. onto it, go 1 mile to 897 N, turn left onto it, go 1 mile to Mohns Hill Rd (on the right), and go 1 mile to 420 Mohns Hill Rd. on the left.

Note: No matter what Mapquest or your map says, Mohns Hill Rd is paved, has a large turn-around 1.5 miles in, ends in trees, and is only accessible by Rte 897. If "420" doesn't work, try "422" for the address for computer directions. It is a Reinholds address.

I look forward to having you all as guests at our Winter Picnic. FMI phone me at 717-484-0909.
