Status: offline 		Today was the first time our little rag-tag band of bottlediggers has been out together in over a month or so... (Me, Laur, Mayor Tom and Mr. Fred)...We originally set out to find the old R.R. station privy. No Dice. Walked the area thoroughly but just couldn't find it. Hmmmm, It must have been an intended stepping stone to the nearby B******n farm...We were vr. nearby and I had remembered setting some bottles on a stonewall there years ago. It was a beautiful fall day and we had a great adventure, and discovered a long forgotten dumpsite that had been near our rambling area for years,.....Just as we were getting tired and the sun was setting, we began finding interesting bottles, aqua cone inks, frags of Hoods Sarsaparillas, Tom even found a Bunker Hill Pickle.....Here's some pictures of our day. This is a place we'll return to and dig out...The first pleasant surprise was seeing a Ruffed Grouse!.....(Pa.'s state bird)

Status: offline 		This was probably the springhouse although it shared some attributes w/ a privy...(Stone lined upper, wood lined down below,...bottles, and Fred claimed a poo smell when he was down in to it....) It had an overflow so perhaps it was first a spring, then later used for a privy? Or maybe it was just the mud that had a smell...who knows.

Status: offline 		While we were looking around for signs of bottles, Tom stated scratching around down the grassy bank below the foundation of the farmhouse.....At first it was apparent that they lived here up into the forties.....Bah!....well of course after alot of root hacking the better stuff started to appear....Here's Tom and Lauren scratching out the beginning of our hole.
