OT: So do the Amish mind..., a 914 burning through their beautiful countrysides? Options

[TargaToy]

I was in Lancaster County, PA for a couple days this past week with my wife and we were enjoying the amazing beauty of the outlying countryside. Tracked down a few covered bridges and generally enjoyed getting off the beaten path and taking some pictures.

As we tooled along, I just kept thinking: "Man, I wish I was in my 914 right now." Some of those roads have the best banked turns, multiple curves, hills, dips, etc.

Do you local guys ever take advantage or is that not cool, given the heritage and serenity of the area? Is that something you guys do when you converge on Hershey?

Cuz....if you say it's OK, I'm bringin' it!! (when it's off jack stands one day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) )

Rumspringha ( probably misspelled). The choice to retain the lifestyle is a choice and to make it they are set free for a bit to experience modem life. Not all come back to wear the black and in some areas the Amish community is shrinking.

Passing varies depending on the roads. I usually act as Pat does and give them room. You do have to be careful in the corners. There are lots of high banks on either side of the rural roads - many of which were cow paths and game trials 100 years ago and have literately been carved into the countryside.

Please use caution. The Amish can not move quickly and a 914 will demolish a buggy and it's occupants if you burn around a corner and a buggy is there. On the fun roads there is often no shoulder and at places the buggycod not get off the road even if it wanted to.

Once a few miles east of Lancaster you get the same roads but no buggies.

There's a great documentary on the Rumspringha (sp?) phenomenon, called 'The Devil's Playground'. See: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293088/
