Hi, my name is Colin Buckwalter.


Over the past couple of years, I have been working on a Backyard Travel Guide for Lancaster County.


I have interviewed friends, family, and community members to find the best places to visit in our neck of the woods.


It's a work in progress and has evolved more recently into a website and blog.


Check back often for more fun and exciting places to go!

Introduction and Thank You!

Watch this video to learn more about how we began this epic journey...

This website made possible by a grant from the Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers’ Association. Without their support and “grant” of confidence, this website would have remained a dream. Thank you PHMCA!

What is my "Backyard Travel Guide"?

It’s the places our family and friends enjoy in Lancaster County and beyond. It’s the favorite destinations, hidden treasures, and the quirky and unusual places we bring our friends when they visit us. We want to share the very best because our back yard is special. Sometimes our unique destinations are the places people miss when they travel the trafficked tourist corridors. Visit our website and then come find out about the wonderful and special place we call home!
