The Moyer Homestead

So even before we set out to Rock Run (see blog below) we decided to attempt to find the family homestead in Bodines, PA... My mom's family would go up here every now and again to visit and a vaguely remembered this from my youth. I must have been a pre-teen when we last went and remember staying in the Hemlock Motel off Rt. 15 (now no longer there but Hemlock Dr. still remains!).

So in order to find the homestead I called my mom and went off some pretty dusty diretions... turn right after the Penn "Something" Cemetery... then turn left at the General Store, you'll be on a dirt road with a hill on your right and fields on your left... that kinda of thing. Well, with a mix of memories and my mom's ability to recall landmarks that stand the test of time, we found it!

Below are some pictures we took. We initially drove past the homestead to scope it out (and to make sure that was the place). Then on the way back we carefully drove past, heeding the giant, florescent orange "No Trespassing" signs... Luckily, the new owners didn't have the shotgun loaded at the time (just kidding).
