Poconoe Mountains, Pennsylvania

[toggleswitch]

Took a weekend to go visit a friendd in his new summer place at lake Wallenpaupack in the Pocono Mountains, PA. It was my first time in a modular home (read: glorified trailer.) The house itself is two pieces that arrives on its own wheels, then is bolted together on the site and then attached to the utilities. Teh wheels are removed and it is moored to the earth , with a "skirt" added. It was actually a lovely large 3-bedroom home.

During our stay we went antiquing. Here is what I saw.

(Can you guess what I did behind the barns? )

This was a country store along a rather large main route.
The proprietor was a very nice and attentive young man.

Here is a pic of inside the store.

Notice the rooster made of chili peppers.
(That made for a VERY funny joke.)

The property had some barns.

The stuff outside the barns was very interesting.

I spoke with he proprietor and gave him this website name and address and informed him of the market for such collectibles, and of course our predilection for automatic versions.
Pending his approval I will post the contct info publically.

In that area there is no bulk pick-up day for such large things, but there is a "Spring Clean-up Day" where the whole area dumps larger things. I will follow-up with him to see when that day occurs and to see if he got his hands on anything we would want.

If anyone wants to get the tel # and address of this store now, write to me and I will dis-seminate. (sp?)
