Looks to be the Spangler farm. Beyond that I have no clue.

That is Sparky and HE was staying at the Frey farm on Taneytown Rd., until they had the fire there a couple of years ago.
Sparky had an attraction to my wife Kathy. Whenever we stopped to say hello or snap his picture, he would start braying when Kathy approached him.
Last I heard, he was a neighbor of Stan Petestreet out on Hanover Rd.

Sorry, nowhere near the Clio of Culp's Hill, Ed. Clio the Rav4, however, was nearby.

9 PA Reserves. Did I tell you a great sunrise photo can be obtained when the sun comes up in the saddle? You're testing my memory, and that's not fair! My memory is as bad as my eyes. Oh wait... my eyes are okay now. My memory is as bad as my hearing.
Over a comrades grave.

As you all know, I'm never in bed an hour before sunrise. Gotta get out there - beautiful time of day, no tourists, quiet, easy to imagine what may have happened. I love that time of day on the battlefield.
Okay, now where is this dinosaur tree? And we have dinosaur footprints too!

There's a pull-off for a car or two near it. You definitely can't miss it. The minute you turn onto Warren Ave. you will see it. Not too far from the dinosaur prints, either! Maybe Lisa can get a pic of it sometime when she's buzzing through the park and has her camera at hand.

And if you look to the right side, Ginny, you can see that sign that I didn't see (hey, it was still dark out that morning. I'll never live that one down. But now I have new eyes). I cut it so the sign wouldn't be too obvious. And there's the original Ripley up there.

Yeah, sure, you did.
Noticed Ripley right off. Didn't need any part of the sign. I'm at work at the moment. Will see what I have when I get home later.
