Well, here is the site revamp. Took over a month and a half and we had to rebuild every page. Hope everyone likes it and sees it as an improvement; we sure do. So go browse, comment, explore.
Will be posting a few new places later this month; I have quite a bit in queue.

Got this up quicker than I imagined. Since I have things from as far back as February that still haven’t been posted, I’m posting 3 new places this month:
Duffy’s Cut
Stockton Mine Disaster
Knox Mine Disaster
I’m also posting somewhat of a photo tour of the Seaside Heights boardwalk, pre-Memorial Day. This was kind of a trip down Memory Lane for me as well as proof that one of the most popular Jersey Shore destinations is pretty dead for most of the year.

This update is all PA. A ghost town, an abandoned amusement park, and ruins surrounded by local legends this time around:
Rausch Gap
Angela Park
Devil’s Hole Ruins

Back in May, I took a 2-day trip to Rhode Island. I toured a mansion in Newport and took the ferry to Block Island, where I rode a tandem bike for the first time ever. During all that, I came across a few noteworthy places:
Touro Park’s “Viking Tower”
Ocean View Hotel Ruins on Block Island
Old Stone House Ruins in Scarborough State Park

Well, I was going to try and have an update for September done yesterday, but with midterms, observation hours, and other college goodness, it wasn’t meant to be. Plus I felt an update would have been rushed and half-assed, so I’m just going to hold off until I have more time and not try to stick to imaginary update schedules.
This upcoming week we’re going on vacation, so perhaps after that I’ll have some new things posted.

And here you are. An update. Really. Not as big as I had planned, but that just means there’ll be more for next month.
Rock Garden of America, NC – hokey roadside stop
And the Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe, PA
