Anyone have plans for this weekend, either day?
I'm trying to figure out where I'd like to head.

We have some time on Saturday, I just need to be back by 4:30. Have anything in mind? Not sure where you are coming from. Barry, are you free after work? Anyone else?
Renee
We will be out Saturday but not sure where and since I have to work might be closer to home then anywhere to far. I know we'll be out all day sunday. I know Sunday we are going down by Atsion. I haven't been down there yet.

Bruce had taken some nice shots of Howardsville but I don't know how accessible it is. Where is Retreat? I've seen this in Beck's book but I can't seem to find it on any of my maps. I always wanted to find where this Harris Station is. I wonder if there's anything to see? Hey, what about Calico? Is the damn still there?
Sunday doesn't look too good for me. Saturday is better but don't stop for me. I will catch another get together if Saturday isn't good.
In short, I don't really care where we go.

Ken,
Retreat is in Southhampton township just SE of Vincentown. It is not far from the Red Lion circle which is the intersection of 206 and 70. The link below is the section of a 1949 map that shows the location in about the middle of the map.

If you look SSE of Retreat on the map you will see where the location of the Retreat fire tower was located many years ago. That property is now in the Leisuretown development which you can access from route 70. Here is a photo of the cement foundations of the Retreat Fire tower, showing the inscription on it along with one of the three Geodetic Markers located there.

Also, I believe it is Ben not Bruce you meant to say. Also, there is nothing at Harris Station anymore.

Sorry. I wasn't following this string carefully. Yes. I'm free after work on Saturday.

It's 10 pm, haven't heard anything, so I've decided to check out Amatol tomorrow.
I probably won't be out in that area til around 10ish if anyone is interested, let me know where you want to meet and what time.

I can be there by 10:30 since it's only a few minutes from home. Amatol's a good idea.

Guy,
Thanks for the links. Now I know where it's located. Too bad about Harris Station. I thought that would've been a nice challange to find but if there's nothing there, why bother?
Oops, you're right. Ben thinks there's something wrong with me by now.

I can be there for 10:30. Is there some place where we can all meet? I have a good idea of where it is but I'm not all that familiar with the area?

Barry,
I will also be going. In case Renee doesn't see this message in time, is there a place where we can meet prior to Amatol? I know there area a little but not sure where it is exactly. I can be in the area at about 10:30.
