We started with Hawk Rock and Cove Mountain Overlooks. This is a challenging climb. It took us an hour to get to the top. The descent was even more challenging. There are very steep sections. Two days later my thighs are still aching. If you are reasonable fit this is a fun climb. Otherwise, I'd skip it.
Next we went for lunch at the Doyle Hotel. This is a very old, run down hotel. We would never have considered going there but for the rave review online. Once we saw how run down the hotel really was we hesitated but went in. I'm glad we did. The cook and waitress were friendly and the food was great and so was the conversation. If you find yourself in this little town I highly recommend the Doyle Hotel for lunch.
Third on out list was The Old Sled Works Antique Mall. We spent a good hour walking around looking at all the good stuff in this building.
Our Fourth stop was a wine tasting at the Buddy Boy Winery and Vineyard. I'm not much of a wine drinker but I thought this would be fun and it was. I picked out five wines to taste and afterwards we bought the one I liked best. The people working there and the other guests were friendly and we really enjoyed our visit.
Next on our list was the old cemetery where there is supposed to be a historic church from the 1800's. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it. We looked, couldn't find it so we moved on. There is a huge cemetery and I'm sure the old church is there somewhere.
Lastly, we drove a short distance to the Dellville Covered Bridge. This historic bridge was burned down by an arsonist a few years ago and has been rebuilt. The road though this covered bridge doesn't go anywhere so it's strictly for those who appreciate it's beauty. It is a beautiful bridge, inside and out.
If this first weekend seeing the sights in and around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is any indication, our stay here will be busy every weekend.
