: Well, Doc M lives in an area of Western Pennsylvania that is
: lousy with history -- also strip malls and Burger Kings, but
: you can't have everything. The coolest thing that's near me
: is an old country road that was part of the Venango Indian
: trail -- George Washington traveled on it with a scout named
: Christopher Gist to deliver dispatches from the British to
: the French troops who were camped around Erie. Of course this
: whole area was a wilderness back in those days. There is one
: log cabin that I know of around here that survived from that
: era, called the Cooper Cabin oddly enough. It's maintained by
: the local historical society and come the spring thaw I'll trek
: out there and take some pictures of it.

: There are a couple of beautiful old houses left that were taverns
: back in Revolutionary War times ... now how do you suppose
: Doctor M came across THEM? Heh heh heh. If you get off the
: main roads here and drive around the back country you'll still
: find areas of beautiful rolling wooded hills and pastureland
: with the foothills of the Alleghenies in the distance -- gives
: you a slight idea how beautiful it was back then.

: Doc M...born in the wrong time period for sure.
