    Boyd's Hotel

    The wood is similar to what I would call a tollbooth that was to the right if you were heading toward the swamp. It was a stunted L shape. Two steps in, it opened to a small room. It was there from the late 80s till at least 92. Farther to the right was a lot of what could be 1970s garbage...

    Boyd's Hotel

    I just took that trail, mostly. The shack was a ruin in the 80s just on the other side of the bridge. One side was military, and the other was not. It was a small L-shaped building. The foot of the L was not that big. There was no noticeable honey hole in it.

    Poor Peggy Clevenger: Murder or Just an Accident?

    Buckingham is at the end of Old Butler Road where it meets the road with the power lines and the old narrow gauge rail. Take a left, and you will see some large spruces in an abandoned field with several foundations, including a six hole shitter. I think an old map mentioned it being the...

    Peggy Clevenger of Pasadena

    Somewhere through time, I read two articles, one about the Brooksbrae fire and Celvenger's fire; and they were within the same month, which was interesting. Like most things you read, you don't always bookmark them... Even if they were the same month, could I say the same year? But it is...
