Fixed the spear lights on the 64 Hawk . Studebaker had visible side markers on the Hawks in 1963.

There is a guestbook to sign and it is expected to leave something for the next visitor. We left some snack bars. The folks before us left pears.

Uncle Dave said he'd been there on the snow machine when they had to dig down to the 2nd story window to get in..

Dont know why the pic is sideways but you get the point. Its a lot of snow to get to the 2nd story!

That looks an awful lot like the cabin in Bear Trap Basin about 4 mi in going north off Hwy 4. Been years since I've been there though.

We always called those ant-lions. Not sure if that is correct.

Google says both names are correct. Had to look it up because I had never heard of them. I've seen the holes, never knew what made them.

Yeah, that gets my vertigo going! Once I helped take a transmitter off the edge of a building, 11 stories up, and two of us standing on a rickety sawhorse made out of 2 by 6es. Man, I was drenched with sweat when we got that off. We didn't have any fall arrest gear, either. I told my supervisor never again. Another time, I climbed to the top of a 200 foot radio tower. I was actually OK with that, because it had stairs. Crawling over the diagonal bracing was annoying, though. I managed to stick my head out of the hatch, but that was all. One of the other engineers stood on the platform and counted to ten, then came down. When I worked at Cape Canaveral, I had to go outside on the top level. Something like 200 feet up. I hugged the wall as far from the railing as I could get. I think one could see Cuba from up there, on a clear day.
