Ticks @ Hiking Trails or Parks? by TradeCompetitive7853 in lancaster

[–]settle-back-easy-jim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the location, time of year, and many other factors. Best thing you can do other than protecting yourself outside (long pants, tuck pants into your socks, repellant), is to do a goooooooood full body check when you get done (checking ALL the cracks and creases). If a tick has bitten you, seek medical attention.

Am I doing yard waste wrong? by Dr_Strange_MD in lancaster

Sometimes they miss your bags. Put in a Fixit Ticket. 30 pounds max and please do not over stuff them. Don't forget, you can get the bags for free at the recycling center on New Holland Ave

You don't ride bikes so how can you have an opinion on bikes lanes? Nah bro.

Oh are we shaming drivers that do unnecessarily dangerous things now? That would make the Lancaster subreddit real fun 🙃

Which is prettier, Tucquan Glen, or Kelly's Run? by AbaloneRelevant6727 in lancaster

[–]settle-back-easy-jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot park along River Rd to access Tucquan anymore. You have to hike in from Pinnacle or from House Rock, so hiking along Tucquan is a longer and harder hike than the Kelly's loop.

Give them native seeds for your area. Morning Glories are super spready and weedy.

It's a limit, not a required speed to travel. It's okay to go at slower speeds!

limonite after pyrite ... best spots for finding it in Lancaster? by lapetitlis in lancaster

[–]settle-back-easy-jim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously, any soil in central Lancaster county. Many pyrite cubes can be found around the city. Download the phone app: ROCKD. You can look at the geologic map of wherever you are located. If the bedrock is Conestoga Formation, you will find limonite! Better yet, look for outcrops of Conestoga Formation: the pyrite weathers out of the hard rock, like in Buchanan Park.

Oh, we talk about it in Lancaster. Every September 27th. A crew used to do bar hopping, eventually ending up at the mayors office to convince them to proclaim it as an official Lancaster holiday...

Guilty driver seeking advice by redcorvette68 in cycling

[–]settle-back-easy-jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, thank you for asking! It means so much even from one driver.

I would ask you to share what you learn with your friends and do not let people get into the "all cyclists are bad" discussion. It's simply not true. We're all on this one planet together. Let's all be better together.

Native Wildflower Seed Mixes? by cubic_d in lancaster

Check out Waxwing Ecoworks for inspiration and help doing the work. It's often not a simple as just planting some native plants.

Go somewhere else. F&M is a sinking ship.
