our entrance into the mill was through a porthole
Created: May 4, 2009 Taken From: The Deer Head at Carrie Furnace Snapped By: Tim Kaulen (tkaulen) Comments: none - add a comment Total Views: 459 j. small re-opened the porthole to enter and exit the mill. here he is taking a few visitors back to their car. the porthole that we used was originally an extension to the 'topland' made possible by the cult of the mole people, who inhabited the ground beneathe the mill through the 1960's. the cult of the mole people were drawn to this area because of the warmth created by the mill and access to the fourth river that begins near the glenwood bridge. it is speculated that the disappearance of the World War 2 bomber that crashed into the mongahelia is linked to the cult of the mole people. thanks again joe for re-opening the pothole! |

I wanted to tell a story about building the deer head in the summertime. The churches on the hill would open their windows and hymns of the congregation would roll down the hill and fill the valley with song while we worked....but maybe it was Pan's flute...i dunno now... lol |

hiding places
Created: May 3, 2009 Taken From: The Deer Head at Carrie Furnace Snapped By: liz Hammond (liz hammond) Comments: none - add a comment Total Views: 143 We would carry everything we needed to build the Deer Head in on our backs. Our tools, lunch, water, camera's ect...We worked from sun up to sundown on Sundays for about a year and a 1/2 or approximately 78 or so Sundays. Sundays were the safest bet because security was minimal. Some of the more cumbersome tools were hidden and left behind for the next weeks work. For instance we hid the boat wench we used to lift the head, antlers and ears in the dirty dark area between these two buildings. We had bolt cutters and chains and other things hidden elsewhere. This landing was also a popular spot (of many)to for us to stand back on and get some perspective on our work. There was no power out at the mill. We did not use any electricity to build the Deerhead. |
