really cool stuff, thanks for sharing. I bet there's been quite a few movies and tv shows filmed there.

on a side note, i've never understood tagging style graffiti. why is it necessary to spray paint on something?

It wasn't like that, the tire squealing you heard was me trying to park tacks truck.

Should be a capital offense

Been there many times fishing the Big Flatbrook and camping in the area.  When I was a Boy Scout, we used to go to Camp Cowah, which was also closed due to the Tocks Island Dam project.  Since it was cancelled, the federal govt owns all of that stuff and it just sit there.  The fed basically stole it all and should be forced to return it all to the rightful owners.  Let them keep the little bit of money they got as compensation for pushing them out of that beautiful area.

(I've often though about becoming a "squatter" in one of those stone homes in that area.  But it's still in goddam New Germany)

Metal detector would find some nice stuff on those old sites for sure! (if only if it was legal)

Funny..... The Old Mine Road was NEVER used by the Dutch... certainly not to transport Low Grade copper ore.... Plus... the Dutch had Gun Powder and some of the "mines" near there are Hand Chiselled.... Hmm....
