Postcards from Snagglepuss
So THIS is the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" I've heard so much about!
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE PINE CREEK STATE TRAIL THROUGH THE GRAND CANYON OF PENNSYLVANIA: For all of just under 60 miles between Jersey Shore and Wellston Junction in northern Pennsylvania, running alongside the rather enchanting Pine Creek, runs some former rail line converted into a multi-use trail which has become something of an area of cultish fascination.
Which some have taken to calling "the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" for as long as anybody can remember, even when there was still railroad track through the same. Even considering that the deepest point is between Tiadaghton and Darling Run, where two Pennsylvania State Parks, Colton Point (on the west bank) and Leonard Harrison (on the east bank), face each other at an elevation of some 1,500 feet above the valley floor (and, hence, the trail; the fall view from Leonard Harrison State Park is said to be especially spectacular).
So, at any rate, this particular morning, one dappled heavily in mist and some fog, our particular crew, stoked up with some breakfast at a modest little diner in Jersey Shore, chose to pedal our way through such a spectacular chasm as Pine Creek Gorge. What pretty much attracted us was the rather gentle grade on a packed gravel trail, not to mention what some might call the clean coolness of the gorge at its most spectacular. The morning may have started on the cool side, but the mist started burning off about five miles into the trail ... and the early crowd on the trail, be they hiking or biking, somehow couldn't believe such characters on a biking excursion on such an undiscovered gem most spectacular for east of the Mississippi River and barely into the Alleghennies--heavens to Burton Holmes!!!
But it was at Tiadaghton, the southern gateway into the canyon, at a coffee place popular with trail users, that no less than half a dozen bikers sharing the experience, as well as a few hiking it, were stunned by our presence, many perhaps wondering themselves who we were and where they recognised us from. But the biggest draws, you might say, were yours truly, Wally Gator and Magilla Gorilla--especially when it came to requests for selfie poses. (But then, not to be outdone, Huckleberry Hound and Yogi saw their share of selfie requests.) And as if fellow trail users surprised by our presence wasn't interesting enough a draw, Huck admitted that the main purpose for the stop at Tiadaghton was for bottled water. More specifically, such with added electrolytes; even with a gentle little grade, biking it through the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania can be demanding in its own way, even if Huck had to advise against consuming it all in one swig.
And what could have been some of the easiest going than through the canyon itself, trying all of us not to look like jerks even as fellow bikers ogled at us on the ride through and alongside Pine Creek. I do swear that at least one biker, who swore he was from Philadelphia, nearly fell off his bicycle at the sheer sight of Magilla Gorilla in particular, demanding selfies even (and Magilla offering a banana to the afflicted biker)!
"And to think I was once offered as a novelty at Peebles' Pet Store!" was how Magilla explained it as our company pulled into the quaint little town of Ansonia, where we found Squiddly Diddly at the controls of our motorhome outside the local park; Squiddly drove said motorhome between Jersey Shore and Ansonia as the rest of us were on the trail ... and just be thankful the drive over wasn't wasted, though Squiddly acknowledged adding some powdered Gatorade to some bottled water to stay hydrated alongside a breakfast burrito from a modest little convenience store.
Next stop: Across the line into New York state, the Finger Lakes wine country even!

Pine Creek Gorge, aka Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Biked 18 miles on the rail trail, creekside; then drove up to Colton Point for the view. Not much color yet, but always beautiful, no matter the season.

Arab American and Muslim American anger over President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war could be endangering his re-election in the majority of 2024 swing states.
Driving the news:
Michigan, Virginia, Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania all have notable pockets of these populations. There aren't reliable statistics on how many are registered voters — but even tiny shifts of support in any of these super-tight states that Biden won in 2020 could make a difference.
Why it matters:
It's another case of Biden facing possible defections from heavily Democratic groups that in 2020 helped him take down former President Trump, Biden's likely opponent again next year.
Like with young voters, Biden faces the prospect of having to devote time to saving part of his base in addition to courting swing voters.
Zoom in:
An Axios review of 2020 results in these crucial states shows that if even a sliver of the Arab American and Muslim American vote were to stay home or defect to Republicans, Biden could be in a deep hole.
In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state's Arab American population around at least 278,000.
Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.
Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.
The intrigue:
The Arab American Institute believes those state population figures are low, noting that the U.S. Census doesn't have a category for Arab Americans on its forms.
The Census Bureau estimates there are about 2 million Arab Americans in the U.S.; the institute says the number is closer to 3.8 million.
The Muslim American population — which can include Arab Americans, Black Americans and Asian Americans — is about 3.45 million, according to the Pew Research Center. The Census doesn't collect data on religious affiliation in its demographic surveys or its once-a-decade counts.
Zoom out:
Since Israel responded to Hamas' deadly attack on Oct. 7 with bombings that have killed thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, Arab Americans have criticized Biden for his strong support of Israel. Many say he hasn't shown enough sensitivity to the deaths of innocent Palestinians.
Arab American leaders say Biden and other U.S. officials have long ignored the inhumane treatment of Palestinians who live under an Israeli-imposed blockade that limits travel, medical supplies and job opportunities.
For some, the recent attacks on Gaza have provoked traumatic family memories of 1948, when sectarian fighting forced 750,000 Palestinians to leave their homes in what later became Israel.
What they're saying:
"It has been numbing to us. I feel very depressed," Samia Assed, a Palestinian American peace activist in Albuquerque, tells Axios.
Assed said she worries some Arab Americans might not vote in 2024 and swing crucial congressional seats to Republicans — even if it helps Trump, who's very unpopular among Arab Americans because of his efforts to ban Muslims from migrating to the U.S.

You know, Silver and Black has my mind gears whirlin! I wonder how the trains of the Strasburg RR, and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania get along. The United Railroad Historical Society of NJ. The B&O museum! Tennessee Valley, North Carolina Transportation Museum, Museum of the American Railroad, California State Railroad Museum, Nevada State Railroad Museum, Colorado Railroad Museum the possibilities! The Grand Canyon Railway, the Niles Canyon Rwy, Durango & Silverton, Cumbres and Toltec, on and on and on!
Oh, totally! DJ and I sometimes have moments of lunacy flights of fancy where we imagine our letters getting the attention of other transportation museums, how we'd handle their rosters and how it would connect with the already-established lore. Nothing serious, mind, just a fun "what if".
Out of personal investment not related to the letters, we keep a weather eye on the St Louis Transportation Museum (Silver Charger is there alongside another Russian Decapod like Frisco 1630, and of course Big Boy 4006), as well as the Mark Twain Zephyr restoration project. The news of Flying Yankee going up for sale is also something we've been watching with interest. Looks like the Flying Yankee Association put in a bid a few days ago, which is good news!
This is the thing I love about train stuff, you can get invested in so many different aspects of the culture and hobby and never run out of material. For us, it's been the preservation aspect and learning about the local history of not just the trains, but the museums themselves. It's been a blast, and I'm tickled that your imagination is just as inspired as ours was by the possibilities!

TRACK OF THE WEEK: "Train Tracks in the Snow" is about the train tracks that used to run along Pine Creek when I was a kid growing up in north central Pennsylvania. Being close to the Creek allowed me to catalogue the sounds of trains and waterways. These sounds comforted me and made me feel safe and “connected,” even when it was freezing and snowing. Trains are relentless against cold and ice, and they reminded me there was more to life out there than just my own little world. This spoken word piece recalls winter times along Pine Creek*, particularly around Ramsey Village and Cammal.
I recorded this in California with my talented friend, the late, great Jeff Lloyd. He made this free-wheeling synthesizer track, then I added parts (it was remixed by Scott Francis at Mind's Eye Studio in Williamsport PA):
*This Creek (which is more the size of a river) flows southward out of New York state into the Appalachian mountains of north central Pennsylvania—cutting through “The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.” In the late 80s, the train tracks were removed and replaced with a popular long-distance bike trail.

131 - ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE
Please visit breakerwhiskey.com for more information or to send a message to Whiskey's radio. Breaker Whiskey is an Atypical Artists production created by Lauren Shippen. If you'd like to support the show, please visit patreon.com/breakerwhiskey.
Transcript under the cut. For more episodes, click here.
[click, static]
Breaker, breaker, this is Whiskey, calling out from Zion National Park. I found an old guidebook to the country’s parks a while back—and some history books too, figured I’d finally give myself that higher education I never got—and while I haven’t exactly shaped my trip around the thing, I like to take a gander every now and then and figure out if there’s anything off my route worth taking a detour for. And while I might be on more of a mission than I have been up to this point, I still think this detour was worth it.
It’s as stunning as the book says it is. And I’d heard about it of course, it’s probably one of the more famous parks, but I’m not sure I had any idea what it was supposed to look like. Not that knowing would have prepared me at all.
It’s enormous and colorful and…overwhelming. That’s the only word I seem to have. Like so much of the land out here—the grand canyon, the pacific coast—it feels like the land of giants. Like I’ve been shrunk down and need to be careful where I tread, in case I step into the shadow of a canyon and become invisible to the giant stomping around above me, ready to be crushed under its foot.
Zion means something, I think, to people, but hell if I know what that is. Aside from the occasional holiday or, I don’t know, food, Harry and I never talked much about religion. But it is a religious word, I’m pretty sure. Or a political one? I remember it being in the papers a few years before everything went all wonky. I never spent that much time on the news beyond who was running for President and lord knows I haven’t thought about any of that stuff in years. There’s no more news now that there are no more people.
I wish I’d paid more attention.
But anyway, I guess it meant something to the Mormons, because that’s where the park got its name. Or, something like that, the guidebook doesn’t go into detail beyond saying that it used to be called the Mukuntunweap National Monument, which is a Paiute word—and I’m probably butchering both of those pronunciations. But they changed it because it was too hard for people to spell and because the Mormons looked at the land and saw some kind of holy temple, I guess.
I’m not sure what to make of any of that, if I’m honest. Other than to say that I sort of get what the Mormons were feeling about this place—it is so beautiful, I think I would see God in it if I believed that He existed. And I’m glad that people thought to preserve it, make it a park; I’m glad we didn’t stick a highway through it or tear down the trees to build a suburb but at the same time…
Well, was it holy to the Paiute people too? Did we drive them out before declaring this place ours and worth protecting? That sounds like something we’d do. Were the Paiute the ones that named it Mukuntunweap in the first place or did we do that after we took it from them? I doubt they found that word hard to spell, so why is it that the name had to change? Who gets to make these decisions? And why?
I keep thinking about what you said. That I don’t belong. And maybe I don’t. Maybe I don’t belong in Los Angeles, maybe I don’t belong in Pennsylvania or New York or America or anywhere. I’ve talked about my fairly itinerant life and what it means to build a home and maybe home where you hang your hat or maybe it’s the people you belong to. I belonged to my parents, I belonged to Pete’s crew. I thought I belonged with Har—
[click, static]
All I know is that you don’t get to decide where I belong. And maybe I don’t get to decide either, maybe no one is the master of their own fate, or maybe all of us are. Maybe the earth decided that human beings didn’t belong in it at all anymore, and like a New York City exterminator trying to get rid of cockroaches just…missed a few.

Can we see evidence for Noah's Flood at the Grand Canyon? - Dr. Steve Austin
youtube
Geologist Steve Austin takes us to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where he explains how the global Flood of Noah's day is evidenced by an intercontinental erosion surface called the Great Unconformity and the thick layers of sand, shale, and limestone (called the Sauk Sequence) making up the canyon walls.
Dr. Austin is a field research geologist who has done research on six of the seven continents of the world. His research has taken him by helicopter into the crater on Mount St. Helens, by bush plane onto glaciers in Alaska, by raft through the Grand Canyon, on horseback into the high Sierra, by elevator into the world’s deepest coal mines, by SCUBA onto the Great Barrier Reef, by rail into Korean backcountry, by foot onto barren plateaus of southern Argentina, and by four-wheel drive into remote desert areas of Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Austin received his PhD from Pennsylvania State University in sedimentary geology.

Cañon Pintado National Historic District, CO (No. 1)
The land is what makes the town of Rangely's history interesting. The land is the base from which all human events unfold, whether it is the geology that brought the miners and oil men, or the water that brought the Fremonts, the Utes, the explorers, the ranchers.
To tell the story we must start back in the earlier history of the earth when a shallow sea encompassed most of the area around Rangely, 300 million years ago in what is labeled as the Pennsylvania  and Permian geologic periods. During this time marine creatures would become fossils and can actually still be discovered around Rangely. Huge dunes were formed on the edges of this sea and became porous rock that is now known as the Weber formation. This formed what is called an "anticline." Anticline is a ridge-shaped fold of stratified rock in which the strata slope downward from the crest. Then, as the sea receded, dinosaurs left bones and the extensive plant growth became oil and coal.
The innumerable canyons, draws, and gullies of the area held creeks, rivers and streams which attracted the early Fremont and Ute peoples. The Fremont people migrated to the Rangely area from the Great Basin in south-central Utah between 400 B.C. - 650 A.D. What we know about the Fremont comes from the artifacts they left in the area and from their homes and campsites which we find in the nearby canyons. Evidence of the Fremont people is plentiful in and around Rangely; for example, the rock art on Colorado 139 and Dragon Trail are both examples of Fremont Art. A Fremont dwelling in Texas Creek Overlook was an atypical dwelling for the Fremont people.
In many places around Rangely the art echoes images from other sites in the southwest. The art of the historical Utes records their history of conflict with the white settlers who began moving into the area in the 1800s. Their art is also the first to include horses originally brought by the Spanish.
The first recorded white settlers making a permanent home in the area were Mr. Joseph Studer and C.P. Hill who came in 1882, the same year the Ute people were to be confined to reservations in southern Colorado and eastern Utah. Some time later Mr. Hill was joined by his relatives, among them a cousin, Lee S. Chase, who named the town after Rangeley, Maine. Mr. Hill began ranching and opened a trading post. All supplies were freighted—first from Salt Lake City, Utah, by team and wagon, then from Grand Junction, Colorado, via Douglas Pass. By 1913 there were enough ranching and farming families in the area to necessitate the building of a large one-room school house (now located in the Rangely Outdoor Museum).
