railroad car
Vrroom is right. The restaraunt was called the Station and the car was right next to the main building. I recall that it opened around '77. Good steaks and I knew the bartender. Made for some...

Joann,
Maybe a little late with duck advice but here goes. We had the same problem with a pair of ducks during late spring / early summer last year. Short of killing or catching and removing...

Snorkeling
Try the train wreck in Meredith Bay. It is just below what used to be the Brickyard Mountain property inside a little cove with the railroad tracks on the embankment above. Not sure if it is marked...

Sandy Weirs Beach
Car Guy,
One of the big reasons for the changing shape of the beach has to do with the removal, in the mid-1970's, of three iron, wood encased, breakwaters. These prevented the sand from being...

Christmas Island
My wife and I have "re-discoverd" the Christmas Island Steak House over the past two years. Never had a bad meal there. The Prime Rib is fantastic and the prices cannot be beat. Try their Chicken...

Low Flying Jets
Ossipeeboater is right about the VTANG operating out of Pease. So chances are you will see more F-16's buzzing around the Lake. There are several MOA's (Military Operating Areas) and Low Level...

Endicott Rock
There used to be a statue of an Indian (Native American) on top of the monument. Over the years it was subject to vandalism and, I believe, one theft. The statue has been removed since and I think...

We didn't attach M-80's with a smoldering cigarette as a timer to the pilings under the Weirs Boardwalk and then sit outside of Konner's Kandy Kitchen to wait for the explosion.
The reactions were...

Less Crowded Weirs
Have been to the Weirs on a couple of Sat nights this year just to check the place out for old times sake. The crowds are certainly down this year and I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact...

Never Happened
I did not ride through the Weirs Channel at 2:00 AM at full speed in a friends old wooden (Mahogony?) Chris Craft speedboat. Adult beverages were involved. Talk about young and stupid.
Nor did...

Buzzing the Lake
If I recall correctly from my AF flying days, there is no altitude limit over open water although the clearance limits from boats / populated areas still applied. Took our KC-135 pretty low over the...
