Me too getting my shoulder fixed next Friday. Just finished reading this report or whatever it would be called https://www.cumauriceriver.org/ConservationPlan2.pdf I’m sure you read it before but very fascinating and it points out some of the survey stones you mentioned before. I realized while...

Was reading this today and found it fascinating I am sure you are all familiar already but it mentions not having bridges that could handle the weight of a horse and buggy until the early 19th century you had to ride horseback instead when traveling. I thought that was interesting...

Interesting read. Now that I think about it I didn’t see it much anywhere except where this photo was taken which happens to have the most human traffic, although I’m pretty sure I saw it sparsely growing on the rest of the bank. I will pay more attention next time I’m in the swamps

Took a walk to yesterday to find a foundation Manumuskin had told me about off of a trail I had not been down in years. I wanted to revisit the trail where part of it rode along the edge of a cedar swamp and the foundation was a reason to get in the swamp and check it out. Didn’t take a picture...

Very awesome

Where is this? I took this picture about 10 years ago although I can assure nothing has changed. Maybe the fallen tree has turned to a feast for insects.

One would assume the drawings would be created whilst looking at the buildings they were representing so I wonder pre 1896? When that article was written about the murder since it does mention Fries mill rather than Reeve’s mill? I grew up at Leamings mill and although just a grist mill I would...

I second that idea we should go soon as the leaves begin to fall and vegetation subsides. I have walked out here once or twice and accidentally ridden by it on dirt bike a few times never deciphering each ruin which I would like to do especially the sawmill picture. Funny enough throughout my...

Those articles are fascinating. I would like to add this photo here for anyone who might stumble apon this thread as I did. It is Fries Mill with the sawmill building pictured in the background. Note the wheel leaning against the building. This has been confirmed by Manumuskin who went to camp...

Same thing with the one in P&H it’s so shallow it doesn’t show up I’m very surprised but must be filled in quite a bit. Wasn’t that deep

It’s west towards burns rd I’ll show you because I’d also like to investigate the kilns out there. We can park at the end of my brothers yard. Claudine’s cabin I heard of with the chicken coop I was told is on the west side but I’m never on that side when we a deer drive so I never found any...

It’s pretty close to houses I wouldn’t have thought Claude would have made one there although the woods was probably way less inhabited as it is back there now there’s tons of enduro trails cut in back there. I’ll show you where it’s at. It’s behind a guys house that probably knew him cause I...

These are the ones behind my brothers. Also side note the depression to the left by itself is a cellar hole I found as a kid with logs as cellar walls but obviously very narrow maybe 5x5. I never knew what it was. Always assumed it was a fort that some kids made years ago but would have taken a...

That makes sense the encircling mound makes it look like a hole especially on LIDAR with the one “ditch” through a part of the donut(unsure of the correct terminology). I am mainly thinking of the ones in the woods behind my brother’s on Leamings mill rd (behind old vfw) there is multiple in a...

I was under the impression that they were depressions in the ground accompanied by a mound next to it…or is it that they dug the mound and utilized it to make the kiln and the depression was nothing more then where they got the soil to make a mound for the kiln? I may need to do more...

They seem so sparsely placed for instance if the slope of a hill would be an ideal spot I would think there are enough dead pines to make a bunch near each other rather than so far apart? Or is it that you received so much product from one kiln that it’s not necessary to make multiple in one...

Being that there are lots of these holes in the woods of my stomping grounds myself,family and friends have passed by dozens of these holes hundreds and hundreds of times throughout the years (and generations) and may have come up in conversation a time or 2 with our conclusions always being...

These are the last 2 photos that were in the albums. They appear to be at a port somewhere may be unloading sand from the rail cars and loading the ships. The ship names look like F.W. Gwinn of New York and Four Jims

Caption for man standing in woods with hat removed reads as follows: Old pit-mined by Pipe Co. Caption for man in laboratory: Laboratory-Nelson Bailey.
