    Along The Tulpehocken Today

    A friend from my office went out there today, and it actually has buds now. She says its a possibility that it's Bigtooth Aspen (Populus grandidentata).

    Coincidentally, I was just looking at your original post with all the covers. Very interesting covers, all of them. I love nostalgia. Someone mentioned that they will eventually be digitized.

    Bamber Home for Sale

    Are you asking me Guy? If so, yes, I owned a lot on both sides too. But under pineland rules, they cannot be developed. Maybe if they had sewer and the township allowed it. But talk is; they'll never bring sewer out there.
