I would keep that a secret if I was you. Otherwise you'll have the relatives of those bones demanding the government take your property away.

Short ride today, just when we thought no one else was out playing in the rain we stumbled across thread guys.

Very fascinating DeBandi. Thanks for sharing.

Used to ride in Southern VT and we'd find all kinds of old cemataries way.. way... up in the woods. This was back in the early-mid 80's.
The stones were from the 1700's- lots of infants and always Irish names, and the stones would usually say where in Ireland they were from; I remember always seeing "Ulster", if I remember correctly.

Same thing in the Adirondacks in NY. I used to be in a 4WD club and do a lot of 4 wheeling and camping around Lake George and north. Shows how nature can take back roads not maintained.

Not cool, but unusal.

A few years ago, I found a corpse in my woods. Actually I didn't find the body. The deputies did.

It was a few days after Christmas and my wife called me on her way home from work. She said there was a car parked in a bad spot on the county road adjacent to our woods. I strapped on my sidearm and sneaked through the woods. We had troubles with poachers recently and I figured that's what was going on.

The guy's car was locked and there was a briefcase and a yellow legal pad stacked on the passenger seat. I couldn't see anyone nearby.
Since it was starting to get dark, I couldn't read what was written on the pad. I found out later it was a suicide note.

I called the Sheriff's office to tell them the car was in a dangerous location. A couple of hours later my daughter and I went to town. The deputies had the road blocked and their spotlights were shining into my woods. When I approached the roadblock on foot, one of them hollered, "May we help you?" I yelled back that I was the landowner and wondered what was going on. The deputy told me someone had committed suicide and they were waiting on the coroner.

Later I found out the guy had walked just a few feet into my woods on one of my trails and shot himself in the chest with a small caliber rifle. Apparently he was slumped over behind a big tree. That's why I didn't find him.

I renamed the trails in that area "Dead Man's Curve" and "Suicide Switchback".

This fellow found me, it was early spring and a nice sign. I guess he thought I was the first flower of spring?

Cool mine discoveries in Central PA.
