Hahaha, oh man. I give that old boy a lot of props.

Could have been used as road fill, as has been mentioned here before.

Wow, very cool. Thanks for posting that. From the comments and a little search I can see that the instrument being played with a bow is a Swedish NyckelHarpa. No idea at all what the guitar is, other than that it is dual-bodied. The upper is a twelve-string with a really wide neck. Not sure...

Might be hybrids, but they definitely have a lot of wolf in them.

Oh my, am I glad someone finally said this. I work with programmers, who are supposed to be fairly well-educated, and you would be amazed at how many of them absolutely cannot construct a sentence. I don't look down on people who just can't write well. What I am completely intolerant of is "text...

Hahaha. I'm glad someone explained them.

Yeah, I noticed that one too, Bob. Guess it's possible. All you need is black and white film and that one nerdy kid with the black frame glasses and you think you're in the 50's :).

That is really a great collection. Some very interesting, surprising, and notable photos in that archive.

The UAW's intransigence over the loan deal for automakers is nothing short of breathtaking. The entire industry is collapsing in part due to competition from oem's with much lower cost bases, and they won't agree to any hard concessions in wages or benefits, instead accusing the Republicans of...

I agree. Nice work, Kevin.

For whom does the bell toll?

I spend a lot of time tramping around up in the water gap, and there are indeed some cool places if you know where to look. Start in the ghost town of Walpack, and fan out from there. You can't go very wrong regardless of which direction you travel. As for the Ramapo region, it is studded...

I was hoping to come, but had forgotten that my wife's class reunion is tomorrow night, and she'll be leaving fairly early in the day. So have a great run, and post lots of pics!

The same to all the new friends I have made here over the last year or so. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's chapter 5 in "The Roads of Home."

Yeah, that's really disturbing. Some idiot took the time to manufacture those and plant them? Bizarre.

On a side note, "Schuley's Mountain Spring" means Schooley's Mountain Spring, which used to be about a mile from my house. :). The hotels, like the Dorincourt, Heath House, and Belmont Hall, all burned down or were demolished 70 or 80 years ago. The spring was buried when they blasted out a...

They will have to build retaining walls on both ends, to both sides of the road, to prevent it washing out again, which might be what's holding it up.

I wouldn't go around there at night. For one thing there is likely a watchman in the caboose (not the freshly painted one, there's another they use as a shop/office). For another he has a pit bull tied up in the back that didn't seem too happy to see us in the daylight.

By Washington Tavern do you mean Nicholas Sooy's place at Washington? It's not far along Iron Pipe from the ruins of Wharton's stables there, on the northwest side of the next crossroads. Not much at all left there, though. It's a good bit southeast of where you were.
