ELIMSPORT, PA – Amish families’ buggies have long traveled the gently rolling roads of White Deer Valley, a bucolic part of the state north of Harrisburg. But lately they haven’t been quite as welcomed. The problem is what the horses pulling them leave behind.
Not just roads damaged by horseshoes. Roads slickened by horse manure.
