If salamanders had cell phones this is what a 'selfie' would look like. This one is a Wehrle's Salamander photographed near Rochester Mills, PA. Only the top of the jaw opens to allow its tounge to flick out and catch prey. Salamanders will pretty much eat anything they can get in their months but primarily they feed on ants, beetles, worms and any bugs that crawl around the forest floor.
The Armerford Bridge is located approximately one-half mile west of Dilltown, PA spanning Blacklick Creek. At 225 feet it is the longest bridge on the Ghost Town Trail.. Constructed in 2009 the bridge features a three arch design and riding a bicycle over it is a unique experience. The original railroad bridge at this location was washed away during the 1977 Flood. The bridge is named for the former small village of Armerford and the nearby coal mine.
Visitors on the Ghost Town Trail make a stop at the historic Buena Vista Furnace to admire the stonework of the pyramidal structure. It was here that pig iron was produced from 1848 to 1856. The furnace is located a short distance off the trail at a location about 3 miles east of Heshbon.
