Beautiful area--spent several summers taking my oldest son to Woodward Camp. Kids got a discount on fees if a parent volunteered for a week, so even after he was touring and working there as an instructor i still went back for a few seasons to help scholarship a few bike riders. Used to love going to The Creamery on the PSU campus, and discovered Hank's Birch Beer at a little store on Penn's Valley Road. Now i can find it local--so grab a 4-pack at least once a month!!
This place was in Nittany Valley, 3 valleys north of Penns Valley where Woodward is located.
Did you do any fly-fishing while here? Famous place for it.....so I hear.
Canadian Bacon just off the grill. Cold smoked for 12 hours over 2 days then hot smoked. Will let it cool overnight before slicing.
In 2005/2006 I was working in Manhattan just a few blocks from where they were building the new Hearst Tower on top of the old 6-story International Magazine Building. The new part was put on top of the old building. Over a year or so I took pics at various stages of the construction.
the superstructure on the right was used to convey materials up to as the floors were added

Just wait, in the next couple days I'm going to start a new thread showing not only this, but some pics/ info on dry aged "charcuterie" meats and salami. I've got a lomo (Spanish style dry aged pork loin) that will be ready in a day or two and some traditional fermented, dry aged salami that should be ready in a week. Also have a capocollo that is in the cure stage.

Amazing how well built structures used to be. Rotted, rusted and leaning at an extreme angle, but refuses to fully collapse.
Great picture John,
Yeah, heavy snows and wind can do that. The entire silo can shift and twist. Been many years since I've seen any like that. The cap is basically level because the unit is basically round. We did tooth pick demos in school on it. The cylinder ring shifts but all the boards act like roller bearings. So the total height (and length) from ground to cap is the same, and the cap looks level because in a way it is. Very cool.

Seven years ago the silo was standing tall, just hard working folks working a generational farm. Videos tell their story and the hardships they face to keep it going. Didn’t know yesterday but their milk is in my frig right now. Will never question the price of milk again… worth watching.
