Lochabar Springs
Aug 26, 2022 13:08:34 #
I took up the Captain's invitation early this morning to come back to Lochabar Springs property with a camera in daylight. This is a secure area and not open to the public.
I was immediately greeted by the guard dog who recognized me as the guy who slipped him some roast beef. He came running over the bridge and licking and tail wagging.
This first shot is the 1/2 mile private road to the cottage and spring.
The column might not look straight, because it is NOT straight.
The spring is the largest spring in the state of PA. The color is not enhanced. The other view is from the foot bridge looking the other way where the spring flows into Antes Creek.

Does the aggregate company own the property?

No, It is a private party, a naval Captain, who was a seal. Retired after 30 years and acquired the property several years ago.
They did extensive restoration of the cottage etc. The home is beautiful and dates to the 1700's.
He has a good security system to prevent uninvited trespassers.

He and his wife are a lovely and kind couple but really like their privacy.

Just as a FYI the column is 1 of 6 from the original PA state capitol that burned down. It was hauled to this location by horse and wagon.
