  1. Was helping my cousin with a big lvp job. I told him about the encounter I had and he showed me this picture he took a couple years ago. He lives in Appalachian remote golf course. Is it a large black bear track or something else.
  2. Another Jaguar battlesphere gold cib. I was going to attempt to play this but didn't have a Jaguar system. Instead have a Sega CD unit.
  3. Sealed double dragon ntsc for the Atari 2600. Took a swing at Tarzan but was knocked off the vine by donkey Kong.
  4. I bought these just for the Atari labels to display in my collection. Not sure what system played these 8 track tapes . There's a red 2600 by kaybee games in the museum that may be one of a kind??????
  5. Spooky times! If you get a chance to pickup a boxed Frankenstein monster do it. The box is tough to get and should appreciate nicely. Macro, geopolitical not looking good. Paying off as much debt as possible is the thing to do if possible.
  6. Place was packed, the arcade was just like arcade's of the 80s packed. Got to play galaga again , beat the game in the 80s two weeks after it originally came out scored 999,999 after that rolled back to zero and became easy again. First time playing galaga since then. The train museum was very neat as well. Just one collector donated his entire collection to make this up. It's a non profit and they lease the space for free which is nice from the city of Frisco Texas.
  7. Attempting the national video game museum in Frisco Texas today if we can make it through big D traffic. Pics to follow later.
  8. It was welcome to Pennsylvania for us on the very first hike in the state. It was definitely scary, unwanted and very unexpected. I should have bought you're game I think it was a limited release. Now you might have to do a part 2. You definitely don't want to have a real life encounter.
  9. Pennsylvania is remote but nothing like Idaho. I don't think I would hike or camp in Idaho because you're in grizzly and r10 country . We went to Dillon Montana during covid lockdowns and some local was telling me about hunter grizzly attacks in Idaho not far from Dillon. Also the possibility of getting lost in that expansive woods. I guess if you wanted some r10 activity have your buddies take you where they had theirs, but they probably don't want to go back. Our Pennsylvania occurrence definitely intimidated us and we turned immediately around after high pitched whistle that lasted for 30 seconds.
  10. Around 2007 we took our kids to Idlewild which is a kids amusement park a little over an hour from Pittsburgh in a mountain area. I asked some of the Park employees if there were black bears 🐻 in the area . They said some of the landowners had trail cams on their property and have some pics of 400 pound bears. We left the park around 6pm and I wanted to do a hike. There's a couple quaint small towns. I saw a small park with a trail leading into mountain area. We were about 15 minutes into the hike which for us would be 1 mile in and we heard this huff sound. My wife and I looked at each other but kept going a few more feet and heard another very loud pronounced huff. We stopped in our tracks and then heard a loud high pitched whistle that lasted for 30 seconds. It wasn't mechanical and we were both amazed and scared at the same time. The lung capacity to do this whistle sound had to be something huge . Don't know any known animal that makes a high pitch whistle. After the whistle sound coon dogs started about a quarter mile or so away. My Wife and I immediately turned back around on the trail, we had our kids in a double jogging stroller. I told her if something comes out of the woods I would stay behind to try and slow the thing down while she gets the kids out of there. I was looking for branches to pick up on the way back out. Ran into a couple hiking and warned them about the huff sound and said it might be a bear. Didn't tell them about the high pitched whistle so I know it wasn't a 🐻. Wish I would have recorded it but I had a flipflop phone at the time and it happened so fast. This happened around ligonier pa in Westmoreland county. Someday I want to go back and hike that trail and maybe talk with someone that lives out there about it. Never told the story publicly until now but my wife and I talk about it periodically. I think it was territorial and we got the point and turned around right after the 30 second whistle.
  11. I also have a rarity 10 scary real hiking story that happened to my wife and I while hiking in western Pennsylvania. If I was a desert rat I would get a dune buggy, eye patch, document petroglyphs, explore mountain areas.
