Paul & Jon,

Thanks for the tip on posting pictures. It's only taken me a month to do it!

These pictures were taken on 1-2-06. The day started out sunny and ended up cold and snowy.
Kingsley was an unfortunate mess. Alford was a good visit. Let's hope the vandals don't make
these sites any worse. I wish I could buy and relocate either tower. Not practical.

If anyone wants to see more pix from this trip (Tunkhannock, Martin's Creek, Alford), let me know.

Tony
