Hiding in Plain Sight (PG XXXI)


Sometimes you drive past something for so long that it either doesn't register or it just becomes forgotten. This Mail Pouch barn on Route 453, about 3 miles northeast of Water Street, PA (yes, that is the name of the village at the intersection with US 22) in Huntingdon County, is just such a place. I have been driving past here for 13 years and it took the website Ohio Barns to find it. And this day I actually drove past it again before I turned around to look, and there it was, hiding in plain sight. This is another one of those were you jump out quick snap a few pictures and take off again. My luck though, these people are probably very friendly and use to talking to people about this piece of Americana.
