#1 The change in the legal status of water was immediate. We could drink from streams and build fires without getting caught, and sleep anywhere we wanted. The Pennsylvania fields were bare and hard in the cold, but there were seams and folds in the country where a man could easily pass the night unnoticed.

#2 We walked between the ridges and the river, and heard trucks downshifting on the last hill before Harrisburg on Route 22, across the river. The Juniata was running fast and full in the spring flood, and there were creeks for fresh water and floodwrack for firewood.

#3 The Juniata River is a tributary of the Susquehanna River, and it was here that we camped one night. The water was ice cold and tasted like civilization was still far off in the future.

#4 The Iroquois Confederacy, a group of five Native American nations, wiped out the Onojutta-Haga tribe in the 1600s. The Onojutta-Haga were a small tribe that lived along the Juniata River. The Iroquois Confederacy declared the limit of colonial society to be the Endless Mountains, which ran across northeastern Pennsylvania.
