Thank you for posting your comments rega...Hi Rita,<br /><br />Thank you for posting your comments regarding my blog report. And, oh how I can truly relate to your comment about preferring to hike in 10 degree weather versus 90 degree weather! Yes! Cold-weather hiking is definitely the clear winner over hot weather hiking.<br /><br />Regarding the old Mascot mine, it is indeed terrific that bats discovered this ‘hole in the hillside’ and have put it to good use.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-63478135245803606322013-12-18T22:14:15.399-05:002013-12-18T22:14:15.399-05:00Hi John,

What an interesting find, and it's great that you included it in this report. <br />I'm happy to hear that the old Mascot mine is being put to better use now—as a bat cave! <br />It's good that the cold temperatures didn't dissuade you from this pleasant trek. I was just telling a friend that I would rather hike in 10 degree weather than in 90 degree weather!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-436595826397244512013-12-16T19:35:07.679-05:002013-12-16T19:35:07.679-05:00That's too bad, I always love writing in cursi...That's too bad, I always love writing in cursive and I am happy I got to learn it growing up!Chris Daileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225481004115172981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-7364801390028998362013-12-16T11:07:26.072-05:002013-12-16T11:07:26.072-05:00Hey Chris,
Mega thanks for your comments and nice...Hey Chris,<br /><br />Mega thanks for your comments and nice words about my report.<br /><br />Regarding that cursive handwriting on the postcard, could be wrong, but think I read/heard somewhere that cursive handwriting is no longer being taught in many schools across the country. It was taught when I was in school, but my cursive handwriting was (and still is) nearly illegible. :-)<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-6132781468192673522013-12-16T10:05:51.259-05:002013-12-16T10:05:51.259-05:00Wow!

...Your generous words are much appreciated, Steve!<br /><br />Regarding that comparison photo, as indicated in my report, the old postcard was discovered AFTER doing my hike. If I’d been more diligent with my pre-hike research, I might have discovered the postcard and taken a photocopy with me on the hike, and then possibly done a better job of lining up my photo to match the postcard. But on the other hand, if the postcard photographer was standing where I’m thinking, then it would have been risky business to get there on the day of my hike due to icy conditions.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comments,<br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-68833181834600504972013-12-14T21:36:34.767-05:002013-12-14T21:36:34.767-05:00Nice ramble.
