Cellar holes

[BEHR655]

Is anyone familier with this area off of Pasadena Rd. It is a rough, un-used road with several cellar holes on both sides. Most were small but there were a couple of large ones set back farther off the road. It was raining pretty good when I got there so I didn't get out to explore.

Guy and I were there two weeks ago.

That's Wheatland.

Thanks Ben. I'll have to explore it some time when it's not raining.

Ben,

Do you know anything about these cellar holes along this road. I didn't count them but there must have been about a dozen small ones lining both sides of the road with a couple larger ones farther off the road. This road led to a T intersection where a wrecked car was standing on end against a tree. Did you see that? The road it intersected was very narrow and over grown so I did not attempt it. Had I turned one way or another would I have come to the sign in the photos you linked?

I went down that road today and did you notice the blue car on end was also in a cellar hole? Most of these holes were so close to the road and so small I wonder if they really belonged to houses?Their mostly outhouse size except for a few.Another mystery

Well, we know that in this area there was a Post Office, so there was a decent sized community here. Also, the Brooksbrae factory had a caretakers house which was probably nearby.

I didn't see the car, but Guy and I didn't spend that much time exploring this area. I looked around and only saw the one hole with the broken pipe, bricks, etc. That was near Pasadena Rd.

Further on down that road there's a gun club and some private houses.

Ben,

The road we went down is at the top right of that map. Here is where we saw the foundations. You can see the buildings to the right marked on the map.

Not the road I'm talking about.

Crap, you're right. I missed the "rough, unused road" bit.

I had been meaning to go down that road. Why is everyone beating me to all of the good stuff???

 

[Teegate]

We would have but we were concentrating on the main road in the woods farther that day. I believe we may have looked at the other end of that road and though it was private.

Al,

Yeah, I thought they were strange too. I wonder what they could be.
