Back To the OL Trestle Dump - 8/1/2011 8:04:58 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline The temperatures were over a 100 and the Heat Index at 110 so the old dump was out of the question.  At least at the ol trestle I would be in the water to cool off if I needed too.  The place is overgrown with kudzu.

RE: Back To the OL Trestle Dump - 8/1/2011 8:17:24 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I decided to dig in the stream bed since the water was only knee deep because of the drought.  There are still bottles in the stream bed unter tons of bricks, rocks, and trash.

RE: Back To the OL Trestle Dump - 8/1/2011 10:38:31 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Thanks  Stephen. The ones on top of the ground are all broken (like my new shovel) .  The ones that I kept are covered under a ton of rocks and bricks and metal in the creek bed. Hard digging, but sometimes it pays off.   Thanks for looking.  Buster < Message edited by logueb -- 8/1/2011 10:41:47 AM > _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.
