People often ask, "Lincoln, where do I go if I want, like, a lot of coffee?" The answer is simple: Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
Welcome back to the series where we're asking you to "Trust the Hat!" In Volume 2, Honest Abe returns to investigate the deep mysteries of South-Central PA.
We're talking giant quarters left behind by ancient giants , high-stakes "death-cheating" on the Grand Rapids of Shawnee Lake , and a deep, existential investigation into whether covered bridges are actually bridges.
Come for the wall of soda , stay because we literally named a motor court, hotel, and highway after his previous visit. Don't question the timeline. Just #TrustTheHat. 🎩

We've got room on the trail! 🌲
Our next Bedford County Hiking Club adventure is coming up at 5:30 p.m.on Wednesday, June 24, and we'd love to see a few more friendly faces join us.
After carpooling from Discover Bedford to the trailhead, this family-friendly, 4.5-mile hike follows Mid State Trail Section 3 from the historic Civil War Trenches to Point 36. Expect peaceful woodland scenery, a mostly gentle route along gated Game Commission roads, and a chance to explore a piece of Bedford County's history while spending time outdoors with a great group of people.
Registration is free, but required. Claim your spot here: bit.ly/49wqmCA
