Hi, all! A recent experience has led me to discuss the issue of giving someone directions to a particular railfanning location.
A teenage railfan on AOL gave me directions to four New Jersey railfanning hotspots. (I was already familiar with getting to one of them.) I tried following his written descriptions to the two locations along the Lehigh Line by using a large-scale Hagstrom atlas; one set of directions made no sense when I tried to follow the route. Thus, it only follows to say that when you give someone directions to a particular spot, take notes on the landmarks and streets, and compare everything against a map or atlas. The person you're directing to a spot may not be familiar with the area, so taking the time to check the accuracy will make for a better trip. :::Getting off my soapbox now::: Dieter -> SPORRS: Serious Photographers of Railroad Related Subjects -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs -> Message © SPORRS® 1998 - All Rights Reserved
