Nay Aug Falls about noon today. For awhile it looked like it might start to rain, so we didn't linger too long down here.

Laurel Line: Scranton


The trolley passing the remains of a bridge abutment, that once was the road to Meadow Lake. Meadow Lake was once a ice pond, and later a swimming hole. Today all traces of it have been obliterated by I-81. This area is near the "Cemetery Bridges."
