Found this superfund site between Iroquois Avenue and
Buffalo Road in Harborcreek, PA. It is known as the Gindlesperger Tire/Drum site. The EPA ID is PAD981109499.

Took Coord reading near entrance off Iroquois Ave. Private property/no trespassing signs and lots of water prevented us from getting any closer. Site is located on other side of tracks. Took 1 picture of that general area which is off limits.

Chose this site because I know the owner and it is fairly close to my home. 
 
This is a fairly new water tower located just off of Iroquois Avenue in Harborcreek by the Erie Water Bureau. 
 
This street is my first name, It is located just a few blocks from my house in Harborcreek, Erie, PA.

Found this minor league stadium in Batavia, NY. It is the Dwyer Stadium and is the home of the Batavia Muck Dogs. The Dogs are a Class A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.

At the close of the 1995 season the old Dwyer Stadium was demolished and replaced with this new three million dollar facility, which opened in time for the 1996 season. 
 
We stopped by to see this tank on a trip to Little Valley in New York state. Really in nice condition and on display in front of American Legion #531. 
 
24-Oct-05
Found this mural while we were at another cache. Thought it was interesting and while you are at it, note all the hubcaps surrounding it. It was found near Oil Creek State Park. 
 
This dam is found at Siegel Marsh reservoir in the outskirts of Erie, PA. A favorite place for hunting.

This house was built in 1832. Stone exterior. One of few original farmhouses still standing when GE purchased the land in 1907. House is known to have been on the route of the underground railroad and has the remains of a tunnel in the basement through to the lake where the slaves were routed. Today it is privately owned and restored. It is located on the corner of Rt.5 and Water Street, Lawrence Park, Erie, PA

Just had to use one of the water falls at Letchworth Park. This area is beautiful all year long but especially now in the fall. The coords above are for where the middle falls are located while the GPS photo was taken NE at...

Didn't expect to ever find one of these but stopped to find a cache near Oberlin, Ohio and presto... there were four of these tractors just sitting all around the cache. One has already been used but three here haven't.

I chose the best looking one of the lot. It was even powered up and I included a shot of the owner stoking the fire. Had a nice chat with the fellow whose wife is a geocacher.

Found this well-preserved flatiron building in Bradford, PA. Had to stand right in the middle of the road for this good angle shown in the photo. 
 
Found this "Welcome" to Pennsylvania sign near Bradford along Route 219. It was real close to a cache at a spring.

Found this steam locomotive in Hubbard Ohio. There was no number on the front but the wheel arrangement is 2-4-2. Thanks 
 
Found this old schoolhouse about halfway between Meadville and Conneaut Lake along Route 6. It was built by Kramer Builders in 1892.

Found this on the way to a geocache. This Fire Engine (Rescue 38) is at the Belle Valley Fire Company near Erie, PA. It was parked outside as the firemen were setting up a haunted house for Halloween. Thanks!

Just loved the area this waterfall was at. The landscaping was beautiful all around the waterfall and there was even a nearby pond. 
 
Found this Alamo-like home near Conneaut, Ohio. Made my son do a U-turn when I noticed this as we were driving by to find a cache. Thanks! 
 
Found this Barber Pole in Wesleyville, near my home in neighboring Lawrence Park. Terry Etzel is the owner of this Barber Shop. I almost thought he didn't have a pole but it was actually inside the front window.
