We paid $40 for a private booth but were the only customers in the facility. So the extra $40 was wasted. She signed us in and then stated that she would be next door with another group in their escape room during our hour on the axe throwing lanes. Half of our group had never been axe throwing, she barely showed or explained throwing and was out the door. I have been to other businesses before and it was customary for them to stay with your group, ensure everyone was successfully throwing and then lead some games. Instead, our hour and $212 was wasted trying to learn on our own. I would never visit here again nor recommend.

This day started out perfect but because of them having a young girl that did not cinch the saddles properly more then one if us ended up with loose saddles and my husbands saddles went completely over with him falling off and breaking his ribs. We ended up in the emergency room that night and the rest of the trip he was drugged up on Percocet's. 2 of the following days he stayed in bed all day at the bed and breakfast which was fabulous. When he fell off the lead just sat there and never got off his horse until 2 of our friends got off to help him up. A few of our friends have horses and saw that they were not cinched properly. My friend told him he should check them all so he finally did. Mine was loosed and the man behind me told me when we were riding so I kept leaning the other way to keep it straight. I was lucky he was paying attention. Another big detail. They said General Lee could not make it so they gave us a woman in a sleeveless tee that was totally out of place with what we were doing. My husband never got an apology, saying they would refund part of his money or our for not having General Lee or for getting hurt because of their carelessness. I emailed and asked for them to pay the emergency room bill but they would not. I asked for the name of their insurance company so I could contact them but they did not give it to me. This was well planned trip that all but 2 days were ruined because of them having someone that was not properly trained. The thousands of dollars that was wasted because my husband was hurt so bad was not the main problem. He is not a young man and this injury led to other health issues which started on this horse and ended with him in the hospital a few months later for 5 weeks. The entire story I am sure no one wants to hear but a simple apology would have been nice or offering to refund his money or pay for the emergency room bill. I would think long and hard before I used this place. There are some great ones in Gettysburg. I would suggest use one that you can trust to do it right and know that they have integrity and will help you if something goes wrong.

I've been to Gettysburg many times before and this is the first time I have done the horseback…read moretour. This is an AMAZING experience and it gives visitors a unique perspective of the battlefield in a way you would never get to experience it otherwise. There were only eight riders on the tour, all the horseback tour groups take the same basic route where the Confederates formed their battle lines and charged on the third day what has become known as "Pickett's Charge" Andie, our guide had two horse wranglers, John (leading the way) and Andie's daughter picking up the end. Andie sets the tone of the tour from the get go and she is a pistol, great personality and a strong command voice that can be heard from front to rear of the group. There's a horse wrangler at the front and rear of the column so you're never far away if you need help. The horses have ridden the trail so many times, it's automatic to them when the other horses move out. I would recommend the two-hour ride, it gives you the full-perspective of Pickett's Charge and why the Confederate leaders made certain command decisions on the third day of the battle. The one-hour and one-and-a-half hour tour's vary slightly but all begin and end at the same location. I'd recommend doing the morning ride so you don't have to beat the heat later in the day. When you plan your trip, Google the location of the McMillan Woods Youth Campground. It's located on an unmarked road but if your GPS allows you to plug in the GPS coordinates, it's: Latitude: 40.789 Longitude: -74.678 If not, make sure to drive slowly down West Confederate Avenue and it'll be on the right-hand side since it's a one-way only road from town. There's a big brown sign with white lettering that says McMillan Woods Youth Campground that's hard to miss. It is customary to tip your guide and wranglers at the end of the tour, there are three of them so plan accordingly.

If I could change anything, the rear trail guide was a little dramatic and was not happy with Levi the horse. Each time she yelled out, I would get lost in the story and would loose at least 5 minutes trying to catch up.

I needed Pennsylvania again for my 2nd time around the 50 states and this one popped out at me. It was very easy for me due to logistics and it being on Memorial Day weekend 2023. I found this race on runningintheusa website. Well, that said, I came prepared and ended up catching an uber to the race venue that Saturday morning with a friend of mine. The task was to do as much miles that you can within a 12 hour period. The course loop was about just shy of 1.4 miles around the Spring Meadows Park in lovely Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. And so, What the Duck 12 hr ultra is a small but great event that started before Covid ruined the world but they're back! There was one main aid station at pavillion 4 where the packet pick up on race day was held from 6am to 7am and a lot of the aid was staged throughout the day's event. My friend and I opted to place our gear near the course, so we didn't have to venture far off course to get stuff if we needed. I didn't know that there was a local road that ran into the middle of the park and a small parking that helped support pavillion 4. It was a nice setting for a race that ended up being perfect weather conditions that day. No rain, but yet, it got warm in the middle to late in the day when the sun was on us relentlessly. The overall experience here at the What the Duck 12 hr ultra running event was good and encouraging, while participants and volunteers were inspirational and awesome throughout the event. The course was a box loop, circumnavigating the Spring Meadows Park here in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, which was about 45 min away from Harrisburg, PA. The course was nice and maintained by the local park authority, which was nice. It was great to see nice outdoor space and just everything opening back up like it was in 2019 where everyone seemed to not care about face masks and such things dealing with Covid-19. There was one timing station on the course, which we passed as each loop was completed. There was also a laptop on a table next to the timing station, which gave instantaneous results / feedback for us participants on how much laps we completed and how many more we can go before the 12 hours had expired. What the Duck 12 hr ultra running event is a low key event that gives you the satisfaction of doing long distance endurance while keeping it in a small local community park with minimum cost. Quite the event they have here and you may want to consider coming to this one, if you wanted to rock whatever distance you want to or try for a longer distance to test your limitations, physical, mental, or both, and or other. What the Duck 12 hour ultra marathon running event is staged at the Spring Meadows Park in Boiling Springs, PA. Registration for this annual event is usually online and prices are fairly good for a 12 hour event. Registration comes with a race bib with chip timing and a race t-shirt. However with this race, as mentioned before, the only race finisher medallion is for individuals or teams who finish cumulatively 35 miles. For those who don't, get nothing but the credit of miles logged in electronically. My main intention was the credit of the miles. I knew going in I just wanted the marathon or 50km distance. The medallion was secondary, although it would have been nice to carry home something extra to remember the race by. For the most part though, I ran and got the marathon distance here in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania in 2023. It is my 30th state marathon/ultra, 2nd round in a quest to do it again. Many people car pool here, but my friend ultimately decided to take Uber to and from the race venue. There's plenty of parking at the Spring Meadows park. Just arrive early enough to secure your parking. There's also places along the course to set up tents and for family and friends to cheer you on. They do provide ample aid for you as the miles wears on, but at the end of the day, the accomplishment of running a distance you can be proud of is immeasurable and simply sweet. If you are a 50 state marathoner or just someone who wants to dabble in long distances, consider coming to What the Duck 12 hr ultra event in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. While it is loops around a small park, it's a different vibe that doing a big city race like in Philadelphia or in Pittsburgh. Just different and laid back. No time pressures for a specific distance but you'd need to finish within 12 hours time, which provides a very generous amount for a marathon or 50km distance finish. It was nice to see familiar faces along the course and meet new friends that day. Definitely recommended if you are in the area or want to pick up Pennsylvania for your bag of States. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+
