"I'm going to pick till I fill it, too, just as we did when we were youngsters." "All right. We'll meet you at the schoolhouse." The spur of mountains near Crow Hill was a favorite berrying range for the people of that section of Lancaster County. In July and August huckleberries, elders and blackberries grew there in fragrant luxuriance.
And in autumn, when the huckleberries are ripe, bands of robins and grosbeaks come to feast, forming altogether delightful little byworlds for the naturalist. Pushing our way upward toward the axis of the range, we find lakes in greater and greater abundance, and more youthful in aspect.
