Great find from yesteryear
Thought I would share this picture with everyone. I came across what look to be an old spring-house while native fishing a small mountain stream in north central PA. It was built into the side of a slate rock formation. I wanted to look inside but did not have a light and I was a bit leery of maybe finding a snake or two that might have made this their residents.

Beautiful!!
I have a few pictures of an old spring house way up in the hills of South Dakota. Yes, there are hills in South Dakota!! I've always been afraid to look too close for fear of what (or who) may be inside, too, though I may give it a whirl if we ever get up there again!
Professor ... if you do get to look in ... let us know what you find!!!
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Now that's a real treasure. I get back there and keep shooting pictures.
Such a find. I've come across only one in my travels; it was near willow city, Texas.
No man can have too many fly rods;
no woman too many shoes.
OK, so I grew up in Brooklyn and don't know what a spring-house is. Please enlighten.
A Spring House is built over and around a natural spring, usually partially dug into the ground or a hillside. The results give you a nice dark and cool place to store things...sort of the original "walk-in" refrigerator.
A right emblem it may be, of the uncertain things of this world; that when men have sold them selves for them, they vanish into smoke. ~ William Bradford
I finally realized that Life is a metaphor for Fly Fishing.
Awesome shot! A person could almost forget to fish surrounded by all that scenery
If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.
Wow most of the places around here have either been tore down or spray painted. Very nice now go get that flash light and take some pics from inside.
If at first you don't succeed ... Then sky diving may not be the sport for you
Ahah, very cool, as it were. Thanks for the info!Originally Posted by PA Dave
What a great find! If it were me, I'd just have to go back for a peek inside. 8T
