...our winner is none other than Annie Swade, with her amazing memory for random facts!
She got the answer right on: the Susquehanna River travels for 444 miles from its headwaters in New York to the Chesapeake Bay. 444 -- now that's a nice orderly number that someone like me, who likes orderly things, can really remember. :)
In case you want another bit of trivia about the river, it's the longest one on the American east coast.
And it looks pretty darn beautiful early in the morning or late in the evening when you're looking south from Highpoint in York County, or across at the Harrisburg skyline and the many bridges (from the West Shore in Cumberland County).
Each July 4, the city of Harrisburg explodes fireworks over the river and boaters hit the water to watch from below. This year, I watched from Negley Park in Lemoyne. It was pretty impressive.
haha! I loved your article this morning! It was really interesting! Hope you're having a great day!
