As always, we try to publish the pictures in the sequence in which they were shot. However, from time to time we do change the format and we did it again today. The last pictures in this week's issue were shot in St. Michael, PA, head water of the great Johnstown Flood of 1889.

Looking for water, Blondie Davis, of Garman, searches for a water source after a well dug in a previous picture came up with very little water. According to Blondie, water should be found at this spot between 60 and 80 feet. Mr. Davis has been divining for ten years. He learned the art from an old guy who he worked with at the local feed mill. When his mentor could no longer handle it, Mr. Davis took his place and continues the tradition of water divining.

The following pictures were shot in St. Michael, PA. This is the area that the first great Johnstown Flood originated from. The buildings shown here were owned by very rich members of the South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club. They were the owners of the dam that collapsed, thus causing the great Johnstown Flood of 1889. Although they are on the National Registry of Historic places, only one of these buildings is identified as to use or ownership. The building below is the 1889 Club House for the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. It is maintained by the local historical preservation society.
