Fab posting, Dave. See ya in march. I’m just ret’d fr. a briefforced hiatus, due to “Sandy.” Still lots to do, but most of the hurdles have been jumped.
Glad to see you back, Richard. I missed your insights these last few months.
Hello,
Did you have to get permission to get on to the property? I’ve been to Rich Hill serveral times but since there’s a “Private Property No Trespassing” sign I’ve always respected it. Asking because I have always wanted to get a closer look. I’ve conducted my own Booth escape tours for many years for friends visiting the D.C. area.
I very much enjoyed the videos and photos. Thanks.
