  • Converted 1994 Asia Travel Journal – DONE!

    I have FINALLY converted an ancient Dreamweaver coded Travel Journal to WordPress!

    Travel Journal to Asia in 1994

    It was good to clean up some of the code, and get “it” back to a base standard in html!

    Part of the joys over jumping various web platforms over the years…

    In re-linking the various jpeg image files, I realize that I do need to go back and re-scan some of the old slides!

    So if you are interested, please take a look and let me know what you think!

    This is a family event, and both Madison and Logan joined me, and as soon as they saw the sign for Funnel Cake, we had to get some!

  • Abandoned Barn – Colerain

    During my GPS Drive in South-Eastern Lancaster, I crossed over Octoraro Lake bridge on Rt. 472, and when I neared Colerain on Kirkwood Pike, I decided to turn around in one of the new developments being built.

    My GPS indicated that I could easily do a loop and end back on Rt. 472, and as I did, I found this wonderful abandoned barn in the ravine of the development.

    After parking and grabbing my camera, I just started to walk around the barn, looking to capture some of the aged beauty of this building.

    Looking at the rest of the development, I am not sure how long this barn will remain…
