Visit to D&H museum in Honesdale, sat in Eclipse gravity car, saw Stourbridge Lion models, bought replacement maps and DVD of Gravity program. Walked up and down the main street, looked for survey mark on bridge (which is gone since the bridge was recently replaced around 2008-9). Bought good fruit and veggies from farmer’s market, then took a look for USGS marker (covered in huge PI!) before stopping at Tick Tock’s for a beer and burgers.

Today Rich and I attended an awesome presentation of “A Ride on the D&H Gravity Railroad: Honesdale to Carbondale” by John Revak at the Waymart Area Historical Society, in the old railroad depot. Dad met us at the gravity museum depot, which he has never seen before. Everyone at the historical society was pleased that more than 30 people attended, since audience numbers for similar presentations had been so inconsistent in the past (swinging from over 30 to only two). Seeing the old photographs emphasized to me how it’s a minor miracle that we can still locate any of the survey markers that we search for, since so much has changed in, really, very little time.
