Walked into 6MR yesterday to scope out the reroute post Ida, and confirm we used the trusses to bridge the "wet" area - it isn't wet now...

I always wondered why the bridge (the vorhees sign) was so high up, so took a walk down to the washed out area.
Seems there is some historical brick and stone work there. 2024 historical funds applications are due in October, in case anyone wants to get this repaired.

This image shows a wall made of stone and the top of a brick arch. The hole on the bottom right is a collapsed part of the arch.
Most likely from the downhill failure of the structure to the right - next pic

The downstream arch was pushed out of place - likely causing the failure of the rest of the structure.
It should be "under" the root going across the picture. This creek bed goes down to the Six Mile Run.
Note more of the bricks a bit downstream.

Feels like we should somehow restore a path that might be 100 years old or more.
Anyone have contacts for funding work like this? @stb222

Love this idea. Repurposing previous public works for new benefits. I was in Belmont south of Wiss a few weeks ago. Same thing. Lots of old classic stonework overgrown in the woods.

It wasn't necessarily weird but I did interrupt a romantic dalliance once at 6mr.

Not really weird either, but I found another Snap-On socket during my road ride today. This time a 1/4" drive, 8mm 6-point deep. $28 on the Snap-on website. Good for me, but "ouch..." for the tech who left it in an engine bay...

10mm sockets. I have found 3 on the side of the road over the years. Including a really nice Snap-on deep socket. My guess is guys leave them in the engine bay after wrenching, go for a test drive and they eventually rattle out and to the shoulder.

So that's where the other end of the black hole in the bottom of my tool box lets out... Now if I can figure out the one in the back of my dryer. It owes me a bunch of socks.

One of many odd things seen at Watnong.

This thing is like brand new almost like someone walking dropped it but it was on a busy road so go figure.

And it works perfect.

So this looks like an oil filter housing off something old....like Flathead old....late 30s, 40s...etc

For example, 36 dodge flathead....but all cars had old filter housings that looked similar around this time

You need a shirt like this apparently! 😁

Haha, my dryer swallowed my 10mm socket too!

The other day I found a DeWalt 20v battery in the gutter that I picked up. It's charged and works well with my tools
