Keystone State Thread

Looks like a crap shoot. The prediction now is for a rain/snow mix in Beaver County starting around 3 p.m. tomorrow, at the end of the day for all but elementary schools. With the mix and snow overnight from Thursday to Friday, school may be canceled on Friday. Of course all this can change. I know my grandson has had 2 remote days in the last few weeks, which, surprisingly, he does not prefer to a 2 hour delay. I guess he likes seeing his friends.

 

I'm thinking most people that go there look like Bob Pogo

 

Hmmm, more meth using mullet heads than rural West Virginia. Yup, accurate

 

This is great. I grew up in southwestern PA. We called it Pennsyltucky. Arkansas works too. I moved to "Daddy got me a Lexus" after college. Very accurate

 

Has anyone been to Centralia recently? Is it passable for a RWD Taco? I've been meaning to go there for years, and back in 2018 I almost drove there from the Carlisle Truck Nationals, but it was two hours from there! It is a little over two hours from my house, and I am definitely going to drive up there at some point in the near future!

It would seem that the public can still go and explore, but I am wondering if it is accessible in a 2WD truck...

 

Not sure if it's really worth visiting anymore.

They're making serious efforts to keep people away.

 

I'm going up to Schuylkill County for a huge custom van show this September; Centralia isn't far from there, so I might check it out then...

 

I don't know if you've ever heard of Frick's Lock, near the nuclear plant; I would love to go there, and I have friends who have gone there and explored without incident, but I have read that going there is like playing Russian Roulette and police tend to arrest first and ask questions later no matter how perfectly innocent your reason for being there might be. That said, I was traumatized enough when I got stopped by police and question for taking pictures in Doylestown back in 2013, and because of that incident I will not be going to Frick's Lock unless plans go through to turn it into a public tourist attraction. My research on Centralia makes it seem as though curiosity seekers are tolerated at a bare minimum, as long as they don't cause any trouble; I just want to make absolutely sure it is at least somewhat accessible before I commit to driving all the way up there...

 

Is that where the underground coal fire is ?

 

Crazy , been burning for decades too I think !

 

Saw this in the parking lot of the Warminster AutoZone on my way home from work and stopped to chat with the owner; 1992 Infiniti M30 convertible...

Yes, it's in rough condition; However, they only made 6,000 of them, this one only has 125K miles, and everything (including the A/C) works!

 

The interior is trashed, but the kid driving it bought it from a relative (The original owner; I believe his uncle) for just $500, and it is mechanically sound with working A/C so I wouldn't be complaining either!

 

In for the storm. Since the kids are online schooling for the rest of the week it's not being used. So one less thing to clear ice and snow off of.

 

Yep, wife just got the call our district is "flexible instructional day" tomorrow. Aka on line learning. I can guess probably same for Friday. I'm thinking we won't see any bad weather till late Thursday night.

 

Like ur shovel. "The Snowplow " !! I love mine. It's the 36 in. I might get the 48. What is yours ?
