Yesterdays Treasures... I spent most of the day yesterday hiking along the railroad tracks looking for Civil War camps. Though I didn't find a camp, I did run across a bunch of these old telegraph/electric insulators. I kept some of them that weren't broken or chipped and have several different varieties. Two of them are marked "Patent Dec. 19 1871". My favorite is the green one in the center. I'm surprised no one had picked them up as they were just scattered along a hillside in the leaf litter, completely visible to the passerby. They are kinda heavy , so I only hauled out these for now.
I also found this weird structure. It is in line where the poles for the insulators would have been, up away from the track on a steep hillside. I wonder if the core of the pole rotted out? Any ideas?
The inside of the "pole"...
Here is a neat beech tree with some graffiti carved in it. I think the date is "194?"...
And finally I ran across this stick shelter. It kind of startled me as it is well camouflaged. Thanks for checking out my post!
