Me and my friend decided to return to Atsion once again to take some pics that i missed on prior trips. My friend did take some pics and did the walking as i limited to very short walks due to a health concern. The first is of the said oldest structure still standing from the iron age. If i am wrong on any of my beliefs please correct me.
The second pic is of the ranger station which used to be the company store.
I sent him in the woods for this pic of what i believe to be the remains of the grist mill.
A pic of Atsion Lake from Quaker Bridge Road.
Finishing up our business at Atsion, we then drove to the site of Hampton Furnace, this is a pic of furnace slag taken by my friend.
The following pic is of the bridge at the furnace site.
We then drove to the bridge which goes over the Skit Branch.
I told him where to possibly look for forge slag but he was unsuccessful. We then left the iron age and entered the cranberry age, taking this pic of the cranberry sorting and packing house.
We then got back on the main road to Atsion, him going out to the fields taking this pic of where the managers house was located.
The next pic are the remains of where the picker's houses were.
Found quite a few of these pipes in the area.
Another ruin site in the area.
This pipe found a unique resting spot.
Some old bricks.
A well.
Deciding to leave the area and on the way back to rt.206, i took the following pic.
In the area we stopped at the next ruin site taking the following pics.
A nice cellar hole with a beam transversing it.
A plant that i have seen many times in the pines, can someone tell me it's name.
What were these three posts used for ?
The Hampton site for me being out there numerous times has always been my second favorite place next to the Atsion area, Being the first time for my friend he now after our numerous driving tours has called it one of his favorites also.
Returning to rt.206 i decided to go to Atsion Road back to the plastic bridge, parking there and sending my friend to look for some remnants of the Atco Spur, walking the road he came upon this spot.
He along the way found what he thought was a railroad tie across the road, but no rail remnants, he did not take a pic of the tie unfortunately. We decided to call it a day, upon arriving back on Atsion Road, i wanted him to explore a clear area looking for remnants of the Indian King Tavern, but that will remain for another time.
Upon closing, the day was gorgeous, loads of people touring in jeep convoys, horseback riders aplenty, mosquitos about, my friend did not get chiggered, but it was a great day to be in the pines, albeit mostly the driving part for me.
