going to Thornhurst PA today,my friends father and uncle bought a piece of land there to hunt on in 1946 and they built a cabin there, My friends father is a great guy and will be there,hope to here some good history and storys from him this weekend. I have never been there before, but there is a hand pump for water ,and a wood stove, We are going to clear the trail leading to the cabin,my friend said the lane going to the prperty is three miles long and a few trees need to be pulled out of the lane. I hope to come back with some nice pictures. It is in the Pocono mts
 
You need to set up a facebook page or something you can hang/share all them pics on so they don't get buried and forgotten on here. You can also make an extra folder with a green tractor warning so folks can close thier firing eye before opening it :shock:

Waitin on the pics....
 
take a lot of pictures i at least want to see, it should be like going back to the good times, i lived in a place like that for about 6 years back inthe 80's wood stove was the only heat, had inside water, as long as i filled the 250 gallon tank on my flatbed when i went to town, and hooked it to the house,when i got home, kind of like 100 years ago you depended on you to provide nessessities, if you didnt do it, you went without
 
Can't wait to see the pics Larry. My boss built a place in the Pocono's a couple of years ago. (I helped him with the drywall). He goes up every other weekend (except race weeks). Says he cant stand the traffic. Lotta New Yorkers taking over up there, from what i hear.
Anyhow....enjoy and maybe see ya at Kempton on the 17th!
 
Sounds kind of neat. Similar to the house we live in now. When we bought it - it was a two-room post-and-beam cabin on a non-maintained road about a mile from any good road. Built in 1830. Hand pitcher pump for water, pot belly coal stove, outhouse, no insulation, etc. It was pretty cold here for the first few winters.
 
ooh ya thats the life! take a double check on the wood stove. had some friends here, father and son do the same a couple weeks ago. they didnt make it home. appears they when to sleep and cabin burnt to the ground with them in bed. step son said he was lucky he didnt go that time. but ya have fun.
 
Y Whatever?ou think he should show 2 billion people pictures of someone else's private hideaway cabin?
 
Looking forward to the pics.


Last time I stayed in an old cabin was 5 years ago in rural Kentucky. Myself and two buddies stayed in it over 5 days of deer hunting and I ended up staying the last night by myself as one friend took the other to the airport.

That night that I was there by myself, I was just about to go to bed when I turned around and noticed the back closet door was wide open. We only went in there a few nights before and now it some how swung open while I was there. I closed it and made sure it was latched good but dang, I sure was hoping that I didn't turn around to see it open again. lol. It was up in some old growth woods, full moon was out lighting up a frost covered cut soybean field. I thought I was a bad arse, but that had me pulling the covers up tight and staring at the dang door like a 5 year old worrying about what was under the bed. lol

Have fun!

Naaaa, you can share it with whoever you want... Put em on here and morepeople see them. Not much to worry about tho cause you always got some idiot trying to hijack the thread and make jabs at other folks... and try to draw attention to themselves.... so the OP is forgotten...
Right??

try not to make an as$ of yourself all the time... It's not becoming....
 
Larry, you'll need to take a few bluegrass CDs with you. Can't stay in an old cabin without a little blugrass pickin' in the background. Maybe John T can play you a banjo tune over your cell phone.
