Five Friday Ramblers walked the Hollow Creek Greenway. It's a 1.7 mile gem of a trail near Nixon Park tucked between Valley Rd, and Reynold's Mill Rd. down toward Loganville.
The idea for the foot trail was born about 25 years ago during development planning for that area. It was a dirt road slated to become a widened paved road but due to a few bright, forward thinking people on the planning commission, it became the first of a series of foot pathways planned for the Jacobus area. The second path has since been completed linking the Hollow Creek Greenway to a path around the Dallastown middle school.
Along the path you may notice a farm (house, barn and silo) that looks like an old farm. Surprise! It's an national, award winning sewage treatment plant that was designed by Dave Davidson to look like a Bucks County farmhouse.
An old friend to many of us but a newcomer to the Ramblers, Mary Barnes joined Fran Baumgartner, Janie McKnight, Marilyn Neuburger and myself for the delightful fall walk. Marilyn has a beautiful painting (which Mary painted) of the Greenway and it was so fun to have Mary point out the view in the painting!
