My suggestion, Beware of Maher bearing cameras.



Or, don't do it in front of me when I have a camera, because what happens in Drums, Does Not always *stay* in Drums

Just ask these people

Sad Day in NEPA

One of my first posts to this blog was about the local "Watering Hole" 

Many did not believe me that people "Steal" the water. There has been an update today,  the original post follows.

Hazleton 1 News 

Aug. 4, 8:30 am
A very popular spring in Ebervale along 940 between Freeland and Hazleton has been closed to the public with warnings posted that tresspassing laws will be enforced as well as stating that the land is private property used for public water supply purposes.
The pathway to the spring is blocked with a large pile of stone and beyond that the spring itself is covered in gravel.
Local residents who have used the spring intend to petition to have the area reopened.
No clear reason for closing the spring has been released.

So,
Just south of town there is a "pond" fenced-in, with barbed wire on the top of the fence.

(click on any picture for a larger view, click off to return, if you want to)

(Note: I just noticed that the barbed wire is facing in, not out, normally it faces out to keep intruders out, and in to keep whatever is inside in.)


Several times I have seen people walking away from this "pond" carrying jugs of water.

Big jugs of water.

They are filling the jugs from a hole in a pipe that drains into the  "pond".

This hole.

Seriously.

But, where does the pipe come from?

Well a little shack in the woods of corse.

Lets take a walk and see.

Why would people drink water from a rusty pipe in the woods?
Well I don't know. Perhaps they think it is blessed or something.


What would make them think that? 

Well guess what we found in the woods.

What is this?

A closer look.

Yes that is a part of the Bible. Exodus I think

Someone colored in the eyes of one of the statues with a Sharpie

And, if you change your mind about taking "woods pipe water" home, someone left a trash can for your empties.

I am *really* hoping someone here tells me I am wrong and these Freeland folks are not drinking this stuff.
But, then again this is Freeland.


Sometimes, I say to myself, "My God, what have I done?"
and other times I just don't know.
