Atsion
Chris, I did notice a black truck like you said, but when I walked past it no one was near it. I walked up the grass from the church and cemetery at around 10:45 - 48. Must have just missed you. And Guy, yeah I saw the doors open and people in the mansion so I assumed it was open. Figured I'd try and get a look even if we weren't having the meet-up (so I thought). But the lady met me at the door and, kind of in a weird way, guarded me from entering. I didn't know if the meet-up time was going to be a lot later or if it was even canceled so I figured I'd leave then. I was parked facing away from the mansion with the 2005 dark green/gray GMC 1500 Sierra with a cap. Maybe we should have an identification thread so we know fellow explorers, or a sticker or something. All well, bummer. To make things even worse I had to make an "emergency pit stop" on the side of the road leading from the Wash-Batsto turnpike to quaker bridge road and squatted in a small chigger nest. Because of that, today was extra fun. lol. I did kind of take an unofficial personal tour and checked out all the neat stuff in the town like the old furnace slag by the canoe put in, the cemetery, the old cotton mill, the trestle and station site, turntable pit, and the railroad era house that has recently been cleaned up and filled in. Was a great morning for a walk around there and there was quite a lot of people out there too. I usually venture to places like Atsion and Batsto in the off season so there's no people in my photographs so I'm not used to seeing the crowds. And actually, I forgot my camera that day anyway, so I'll have to go back for a mansion tour another time (unless you can't photograph in there).
