Rocky Ridge County Park Hiking -Three Mile Island

We did a five mile hike at the Rocky Ridge County Park in York the other day - nice hike over varied terrain with some views of the valleys below.  


They apparently have a Christmas display every year - it was a little creepy to see the deteriorated  remains of last years display still standing in the woods.

Photo taken from about 7 miles away on a hazy day so it is not real clear. The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was the site of the worst nuclear disaster in America when the #2 reactor had a meltdown in 1979.  The #2 reactor (see the two cooling towers on the left) has been shut down since then.  The #1 reactor (see the two cooling towers on the right with steam emanating from them) continues in operation and is licensed to run for about 18 more years.
