Nice shots and stay out of my old stomping grounds! The guys at Shinnston are great ain't they? I also took the ex Arlington tower up to the school

for some pics back in March of 2002. We even tried to go thru the McDonalds Drive-Thru to get a bite to eat, but the tower wouldn't fit.

On your way between Morgantown and Shinnston, only a few miles north, right of I79 there is a little place called Boothsville. You would have enjoyed

stopping there to photograph their light blue apparatus.

Thanks for posting Morgantown E4, thats the only rig that I haven't been able to get in quite a few attempts.

Jeff, I looked at the photo you had sent me of the tower and it does appear to be the same school. Funny.....when I went to Shinnston, no one was there except a city employee, who had the Chief's cell phone number. I called, and he came right down. One of the nicest guys I have ever met at a station. Very accomodating. I asked if he had a recommendation for a place to take the tower for photos where there would be ample room. He said he knew a great spot - the school. You set the standard Jeff.



I will have to keep Boothsville in mind. I may get up to the Morgantown area at different times.
