Sunday, August 2: Centralia TC and Home

Tina's Place

I decided to blow off waking up at 7 AM and just driving to the barn on meeting. I then went to

Used by Son

Centralia Pennsylvania. This is  where the anthracite coal has been burning underground since 1962

Small Town Pa

the town was closed off in the 80s and we're walking on a place called the graffiti highway which was the

Grafitti Highway

old route 61 which they had to close to the burning fire so they have a whole bunch of graffiti here.

Grafitti Highway

it's really a trip. So, I attempted to

contact TC and then she called me back. I realized her place is about an hour and 15 minutes due east of where I was staying. She said I was welcome to visit so I left Tina and her son and

Centralia Pa off of Route 61
