    Relic Hunter

    Absolutely not a judgement. I like to think a person like that would have good things and findings to share. Hopefully a real nice fellow, or lady. The image just kinda sends a questionable message. g.

    Relic Hunter

    I always welcome new and interesting folk to the site gleefully as those did for me. I will say the latest addition, "Relic Hunter" has a fascinating image in his profile. Might want to rethink that one. g.

    Give me a list of "Must See's"

    That is a fascinating thought. It's a commitment though. Most of the Trestles that are mentioned here you will find are actually on the Trail the Blue Comet took and are probably the most interesting. Yes, the one at Atsion is in magnificent shape and higher off the water than most. Here's my...

    Give me a list of "Must See's"

    My favorite Trestle , and a friend of my youth. From Parkdale, if you're already there it's not super close but it's a darn site easier to follow/drive Burnt House South to the Fleming, cross Chew and take the Fleming right to Iron Mill Bridge over Albertson's branch. (you will have actually...

    Deadly Traps in Wharton SF

    This type of thing is simply not new. It is wrong, and hurtful. Being opposed to 4WD and ORV activity is one thing, but this type of activity is irresponsible. I do not even think in many cases it is groups that think they are protecting anything. I get the impression it's just jerks having fun...

    Sweetwater Book Signing

    Hey... will you sign my CD?? It would be an honor. And if you get snakebit in the pines & expire one day it may be worth something to me. Aside from the very admirable and gifted tunes. g.

    Sweetwater Book Signing

    I'm very sorry for that. I shall do my best to preserve your dignity. On a serious note, I look forward to it. You don't happen to have any of those party hats with the worly gigs on them do you? g.

    I want a gun...

    Sound advice for a start. And yes, it takes a damn long while and even though this may not be a popular statement... it should. I waited every bit of the full allotment of time required and this was even with contacting my local police chief at the time directly. It is what it is and patience...

    Atsion Mansion Restoration

    If one does the simple math, look what the foundations of the Batsto mansion are trying to hold up compared to Atsion. Big difference in every direction. I was by the Mansion, Atsion, Saturday on my way up to Seaside. Looks like the beginnings are pretty generic prep. g.

    Young folks interested in hiking/camping/canoeing/etc?

    Employing the term "Mature", That's a reach for some of the oldsters here, and probably an insult to a couple of them. g.

    Railroaded

    I guess that would mean that the yard around the corner from me owned by distant relatives of mine is a "Scrupulous" yard as I would expect. I also thought that rail steel was of a different type and had to be dealt with differently than other types of iron. Again, probably wrong. On Rail...

    Sweetwater Book Signing

    I inquired of Linda Stanton as to whether or not Bob Birdall's book will be there. Unfortunately he will not be there but His Publishers will have copies for sale. It is a book I have been wanting to pick up. My wife & I will be attending the dinner as well. Hope to see some folks there. If...

    Railroaded

    Now, Not that I am 100% sure on this one, but I thought scrap yards, at least the regular ones we public folk would use, will not take scrap relating to rails... The cast plates, the discarded pins, and most of all, track itself. I know my local one won't. I think they're even supposed to...

    South of Atsion Lake

    O.K., Let's see if I'm still with you. Thinking if you came in by way of DutchTown, park near the tracks and take a liesurely stroll South on the JCR. You'll be introduced to the one crossing the Sleeper as well as the Clark. If you're taking that little way in closer to Rockwood, you would...

    Southeast of Hampton Forge

    The truck Scott speaks of is a good lookin' truck. Tasteful, like Whiting Rider's. I've eyeballed it a couple times myself but other priorities keep me from shopping 4WD's for awhile. Tom, Your truck is a fine one! Looks well kept and ready to go. I always liked that body, even around the...

    South of Atsion Lake

    Bob, Unless I got the direction you came from wrong... A right will head you up towards Goshen and a left would take you out towards Chew road eventually. Either way, you weren't terribly far from real roads and yet had good riding and scenery to take in regardless of direction. You were...

    Nature's Rest Resort and Buckingham Bogs and Ruins

    Very nice purchase Ben, best of luck. Jeeps is fun! You do have the proper car seat for your little one right? Scratches are something I don't sweat too much on my S10, although I don't go out of my way to get into really tight spaces. Besides, Rust does wonders to detract the eye from...
