On a rainy foggy day back in the 1980's, I passed this charming train depot in Marlinton, West Virginia. Not sure if it is there any longer.

The oldest operating wooden ferry boat crosses the wide Susquehanna north of Harrisburg between Liverpool and Millersburg. It can hold about 4 cars, or a car and a buggy with s (as it does often) plus passengers. It's a slow crossing, very relaxing. It was $5 per crossing per person in July. It operates during the summer months until sometime in September, weather permitting.

An old style motel and cafe in Ola, Arkansas.

A cute little building in Montgomery PA that once housed a gas station.

This hot dog stand stood on Route 15 between Harrisburg and Selinsgrove PA near Liverpool for many years. By the 1990's it was abandoned and forlorn. When the highway was widened, Mr. Weiner was removed. Now it has been restored, repainted and relocated to Weaver's Gas Market in Allenwood PA back on Rt 15 about 30 miles north of its prior location. The old sign said Home of Mr. Weiner on one side and In Full Dress on the other as I recall.

Definitely must see this area to really appreciate it. The location for many Western films. It's breathtaking.

This is the view from the cemetary of Mt. Zion Church near Picture Rocks PA. Several generations of my Nichols and Holdren ancestors are all buried up here on top of a very high hill. You can see for miles and miles on a clear day such as this.

Bitter cold winter day in the mountains of Pennsylvania.

The old passenger station in Pegram TN is now used as the community center. Painted from a photo I took after a snowfall in January 2003.

This was my favorite BBQ joint in Tennessee. The owner retired and sold the property and new owners are totally renovating it. Not sure what it will be. It's in White Bluff, TN.

Luckily I got some photos of the sign before it was torn down. Remains of the old motel are now storage buildings in Port Trevorton, PA along the Susquehanna River.

The old L&N caboose, next to the Pegram Community Club (the former depot).

This is one of the many beautiful waterfalls at Ricketts Glen State Park in PA. There are more than 22 waterfalls and 26 miles of hiking trails. This is one of the picturesque waterfalls on the steep trail through the Glens area.

Many barns in Tennessee have the famous SEE ROCK CITY signs painted on their roofs. and sides  Rock City is a retro tourist attraction in Chattanooga TN. Visit www.seerockcity.com today. These barn roofs are very popular. This one was near Morristown TN and is more elaborate than most.

A simple flower bed at a hunting cabin in Sullivan County, PA.

The longest stone railroad bridge at nearly a mile long, opened in 1902. Carries nearly continuous train traffic over the Susquehanna River north of Harrisburg PA. Famous icon to rail fans.

A beautiful somewhat foggy scene. Painting was done in the early 1990s.
