Marsh Creek 
March 22, 2008

Rock star wife - at least to me  

There were some snow flurries coming down,  but didn't show up in the picture. 

We did the "long hike" at Marsh Creek out and around the quarry. There's an old railroad bed that used to service the quarry. This was some kind of structure along the old railroad bed at the quarry entrance. 

Though it looks like some kind of mine shaft, I think it was more of an earthen shed of some kind. The picture we're missing is the one of the go-kart races going on behind us across the creek. There's a small paved track where people race their own private souped up go-karts. 

This is the other side of the quarry. The earthen shed and go-kart track are at the opposite (low) side from here. "They" actually drained this quarry a few years back. I'm amazed it's full again.

CJ actually started making his way down the cliff face. It was pretty nuts. Obviously it wasn't sheer, but I certainly wasn't going after him if something happened. Luckily he decided against any further decent and returned to the top where we were.
 

Along the way there are these cool ruins from some farm long long ago. This was a window in one of the barn walls looking across to the opposite wall. 

The barn was a Pennsylvania Barn. This is one of at least 4 pillars that held up the forebay. 

The arrows point out some of the other pillars. The barn in this picture was probably very similar. I say was, because it looks like the middle pillars have been replaced by wood.   

This was the house. It's about a fifty yards from the barn. The pictures don't do it justice. It has fireplaces at either end and opposing each other. Not sure what that arched thing was in what appears to be the basement. 

This fireplace is on the wall opposite of the one above.
