Ghost Fisherman2255 viewsUse your imagination! I see a ghostly fisherman, kind of looking to his left, rod raised, kind of a pin head though.

So, what do you see, and don't say an odd little waterfalls?

Hedge Apple?2082 viewsWe found this, one of natures little oddities, along the Great Allegheny Passage, one of our many bike trips.

I have no idea of it's usefulness but, if the Major Leagues decide to go green, I'll be on the leading edge of the national pastime.

Yes, it was very good. Maybe this post should be under Critters.

Tree Rock1947 viewsCheck out the rock in the tree above Lou. Only explanation I could think of is the tree grew up under the rock, which is now firmly embedded in the fork of the tree.

Got a better explanation send it to us.

Lombard Street2073 viewsLombard Street, San Francisco, California, is supposed to be the most crooked street on earth.

Lot to be said for drinking while surveying.

Arch2028 viewsSee Tennessee Landforms on our link.
Again, I never saw one of these at Sea so, it must be odd stuff.

Quarry Falls & St. John's Mill2025 viewsSt. John's Mill built around 1770~ ceased operation in May 2011, sadly.

Met the nicest guy one has the privilege to meet, Ron Dawson, who did magic for my Granddaughters and permitted us on his property to take this photo.

Pinnacle Lookout Tower2120 viewsPinnacle Lookout Tower occupies the spot where an old Fire Tower once stood and is visible from the town of Unicoi, TN.

There is a trail leading to the tower from I-26, Unicoi exit. Better take along some water and energy bars, you will need both.

Don't you think this is an appropriate time for it's use? also kind of looks like an old folks home breakout.

Boiler?2145 viewsI found this near an old power plant t Burgess Falls, TN.

Have no idea what it could be but, thought it might be an old boiler except it has concrete in the bottom?

Any info appreciated.
