LOL!!!!!! Sally! Oh, we didn't let that bother us one bit. Though we did make up a tall-tail once, that we actually started to believe ourselves, which actually made us a little bit scared to walk that way for a while. That is another long story. But, as far as this incident, why, the very next day we were back to our beloved Tully, again. And, we walked that toe-path many, many times after that. A couple years after this incident, they built the bike trail, as it is today. Before that happened, we had lots of privacy along this trail for two more wonderful years of adventure. The bike trail runs along parts of the old toe-path, but doesn't curve this way and that way as much as the little path we kids from Glenside blazed, or should I say, helped to keep blazed. It just seemed to have alwayss been there. The bike trail runs from Glenside to Greenfields and beyond for five miles one way. No, that little shack wasn't there, or at least I couldn't find it. After they built the bike trail, it was a much nicer walk along the Tully, a MUCH wider trail, which means they cleared up some of the thick brush and woods, to opened it up to the public. It was no longer OUR tiny toe-path, and no longer adventurous, because there were way too many people who walked it after that. After they built the bike trail, this would have been in the late 1960s?, early 1970s?_can't remember exactly when the trail was built, on days I wanted to play my guitar in private, do some heavy-duty studying for business school, or just read my Bible, or another good book, I would go to my favorite bench along the water, and sit there for hours_looking up only a brief moment to say hi to a passer-by. It was very relaxing, and I love to hear the water moving along, and the little animals scurrying about, while reading. The really weird thing about it was that I was NEVER afraid there, all by myself. Mind you, when it was a toe-path, we would have never thought to walk it alone. Much MORE of my Tully adventures later :o) Gotta get the wash, do some dead-heading outside, and stretch my back, but I'll be back!! :o) Lynn PS "Mind you"_now there is one for Richard Emlin Reed to give its origin or German and PA Dutch.
