I spent all day down in South Mills and Moyock. I really think I am getting close to this thing... whatever it is.
I also spent sometime looking into this spyglass, literally and figuratively. 8-) There's something unexpected there that's for sure. It is in near perfect condition and if I wasn't convinced that this thing has survived for more than two hundred years I'd be dubious. But I AM convinced.
I'll bet those numbers are important.
hmmmm
You know, I read something somewhere about using the name of the knot... a BOWLINE is a knot, right?
