Stepping Stone Farm B & B

06/05/2026

Thank You Paul Wiegman, for always sharing Great info! If you haven’t biked the GAP, or least a section your missing out. Stepping Stone Farm B & B, is at Mile marker #59, on the GAP.

The official birthday of the Great Allegheny Passage is June 9, 1978.

This is the date the trail was born when the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy purchased the very first 27-mile parcel of railroad property from the Western Maryland Railway.

While its origins trace back to that day in 1978, the trail was completed in stages over several decades.

• 1986: The first 9.5-mile physical section of the trail opened near Ohiopyle State Park.

• 2001: The first 100 miles of a continuous path were celebrated in Confluence, PA when the bridge over the Casselman River it was opened. At that time, the amalgamation of several trails was officially named the Great Allegheny Passage.

• June 15, 2013: The trail was fully completed when the final section into Point State Park in Pittsburgh opened to the public.

Happy Birthday, GAP, and we are all looking forward to many more.

♥️Stay with us & visit Fallingwater.

Few homes in the world are as instantly recognizable as Fallingwater in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania.

Designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this remarkable house built directly over a waterfall is widely considered an architectural masterpiece. In fact, a 1991 poll by the American Institute of Architects named Fallingwater the “best all-time work of American architecture.”

With accolades like that, it’s no surprise Fallingwater has become one of the most popular destinations in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands. See what it’s like to visit this world-famous home.

The chorus of Eastern bluebirds and meadowlarks isn’t the only sound in the forest-lined fields in Somerset County.

Visitors hear the continuous cracking of trees that are not felled by wind or a chain saw. It’s an 11,000-pound African elephant named Jackson who is making noise as he bulldozes trees and dines on the yummy wood pulp, branches and leaves.

African savanna elephants are endangered in the wild, but Jackson, who turns 50 this year, is the oldest African male elephant in the country.

The fallen trees lie bent and broken like a mad logger passed through. But the culprit isn’t doing this just for himself; he shares the spoils with the rest of the herd, especially the females.

Jackson is still breeding at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium’s International Conservation Center near Fairhope, Somerset County. He has the most prolific bloodline of any male African elephant in the United States, siring 18 young. The zoo is planning birthday festivities for him on June 13.
