Digging at Huckleberry
Today I called the Loyola Retreat House in Faulkner, Maryland to ask their permission to visit the Retreat and take some pictures. I'm prepping for a new picture gallery regarding Booth and Herold crossing the Potomac and I need some better shots of Dent's Meadow. I left a message and they called me back this afternoon.
The director of the Retreat House said it was ironic that I called, as just today they had a television production crew at Huckleberry shooting material for the National Geographic show "Diggers". Apparently they are doing archeological digs at various places associated with Booth's route for one of their shows. He said he wasn't sure if they completed their dig today, due to the forecast of on and off rain, and that they may be back tomorrow. If I didn't have a prearranged research date at Ford's Theatre, I'd definitely stop by to see their progress. Apparently we have a National Geographic channel special to look forward to which, at the various least, includes a dig at Thomas Jones' home of Huckleberry. P.S. The Boothie gods really smiled on me today. Look forward to a BoothieBarn post later tonight regarding my adventure today. |
