Lausanne

  • 05/08/2013

Photos taken June ’12 via camera & camera phone, hence different photo sizes Another find via geocaching.  Seriously, if you’ve never geocached, get a GPS or smartphone and go play already. I was surprised to read that a ghost town was only 20 minutes or so from me. ...

  • 12/27/2010

With all the attention Centralia gets, it’s amazing most people are unaware of other mine fires and disasters.  I admit I had never heard of Avondale until I went looking for a geocache hidden there.  How does a mine disaster site with a 100+ death toll become overlooked?...

Old Stone House Ruins in Scarborough State Park

  • 08/26/2009

This place can be found along the water in Scarborough State Park.  We noticed it coming back from the Block Island Ferry.  Really not much to say, other than it’s impressive oceanfront ruins.  Poison ivy abounded here; luckily I managed to avoid it.

Touro Park “Viking Tower”

  • 08/26/2009

I had been meaning to get to this one for a number of years, but it was usually out of the way.  Since we were touring a mansion in Newport, I finally had a chance to get to the “Viking Tower” in Touro Park.  Nobody seems to be...
