Popular Post other dog Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well, back to the old binness as usual- I took a load of pipes to some museum in Avella, Pa. It was located right in the middle of nowhere. I went up a hill getting there...Then I had to go down a hill when I got there.I turned around hereand the unloader man unloaded the pipes here.Here's the unloader man talking to the wrecker driver that was going after another pipe truck that was trying to come in from the other direction. He told me he didn't know how he made it as far as he did, the road was no wider than the truck. I heard him tell the wrecker driver he thought he'd need a bigger wrecker to get him out, so he must have been in a really tight spot.Some rocks.There's the hill I came down, i'm about to try to get back up it.Looking down in the hole i'd just come out of.Crossing the New River Bridge in W.V. I usually take rt.39 in Summersville over to rt. 20 at Nettie, and 20 to rt. 60 in Charmco, then 60 to I-64, but I stayed on 19 all the way to Beckley because it was snowing.It was chilly too.They had the roads pretty well salted though.I took a load from Lynchburg to Columbia,S.C. yesterday, and loaded steel in Charlotte going to Richmond today, but I didn't see anything to photograph. 11 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Knew that name Avella rang a bell.. Mr. & Mrs. Fraer bring this nice Brockway from there to Winchester and some others.Now that's photo-worthy! Didn't see that sitting around anywhere, but I couldn't do much looking around in town, it was a tight place to get through, with a couple of hard turns to make. I did see a place just out of town on Meadowcroft Road with a lot of cars, trucks, trailers, and junk sitting around. There was even an old McLean trailer there.I unloaded at the gray square in the center near the bottom of this picture. There's the long hill I came down to get there, but it was snow covered Wednesday except for a little strip in the center. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

gearhead204 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Tom: after looking at the topography I would have thought you were out WEST but after seeing the salt film on the truck I knew you weren't one thing about -3 the roads not as slick as it is at 31f but it takes longer for the toes to unthaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice work, Tom! While our hills pale in comparison to what's down in your neck of the woods, it just takes a tad of the slippery stuff to separate the men from the boys. You seem to take it in stride.Meadowcroft was in the news this week. A rockshelter was discovered in Florida and there is evidence that it might pre-date Meadowcroft by 3000 years.Insana handles a lot of Pitt Ohio's local calls for a hook, but I've never seen the that particular truck or assistant. I guess the ugly ones come out at night. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
