Took a tour today.

[jeff of pa]

Planned on going Detecting but the Strong winds were
Blowing my car all over the road, So I Hesitated
whether I Should Detect & Get
blown all over the Field I Was heading to.
When I Got there I Saw somone Mowing Grass
So I Took that as a Sign & Took a ride.

Saw a Carnival Grounds on an arial View
last week, where I Didn't know Existed so I Swung By.

Looks like a Fire Company Grounds
Right behind the Fire Company.











PRESENT


1959 Some Buildings


1938 No sign


So I Take it the Ball Field came in the 40's or early 50's

Nobody around to Ask Permission YET

[jeff of pa]

Saw a New Picnic Grounds Listed on a 1941
County Transportation Map last week Also.

Next Stop













Awsome View From there Couldn't
Resist a few Pics

[jeff of pa]

Headed for the Next Picnic Grove Listed on
the 1941 Pendot Map

& Saw this Outhouse out the Corner of "mine Eye"
along the Mahantongo Creek



By the time I Realized What it was & Glanced into the woods
I see a Large Pavilion Buried in the Trees

No place to pull over, Very Narrow 2 Lane Road so I Stop
in my Lane & Get out to take pics.









I Looked & Looked No road in
No Place to pull over
would need to park on the road
or a mile away to walk in
No signs of it on any Ariel
or Map as Existing

No cars came by to Ask

[jeff of pa]

On the road again for the Other Pre 1941
Picnic Grove

I Saw this Church, Too Cool to Pass up Stopping for
Pics.

Stopped on the Road again for 5 Minutes
instead of Pulling
into the Small Lane.

[jeff of pa]

went up around the Bend to look
for the Grove but there was a Hill
on the Right hand side where te Grove shoud be

& Again had to stop on the road.
& Took a walk looking Up when I saw this



What may have Been the Road in


Crawled up the bank to take this


back of fireplace


Took the next right turn to get this.
Red X Is about where it is



I'm Guessing Former Church Grove for the Little
White Church Prior to it

[jeff of pa]

Headed Home But Decided I Couldn't resist Stopping by
here to Take Pics .

I Love this House.

Date on it 1834



Nobody around But I Did Hear a dog inside Barking.

Found out 3 Years ago My Great Uncle Grew up here.
He died several Years ago in his 90's

[jeff of pa]

On my way again

Still Looking

I Passed the Gratz Fairgrounds
&

This old One Room School caught my Eye



But as I got a
Quarter mile Down the Road

Aliens Took me over & Turned my Car around
and I stopped for Pics.






I Had permission for this about 10 Years ago
when the grass was high & it was 90+ degrees
didn't last more then 10 Minutes

I Have No history on it
other then I'm Guessing late 1800's to
Turn of the Century.

Was definately There in 1938



After the Pics

I Decided to Travel a bit Fruther to the Fruit Farm
to ask Permission again.

I Asked if a friend & I Could Hunt it tomorrow

& She said "As far as I'm Concerned you Can"

Place smelled So Good !!!!!

I Had to spend $3.00 on 6 of these.



There were Six when I Headed Home


& I Can Update.

One room School was there in 1875
