Well folks, tomorrow is the big day. I'm going to be lurking around the grounds of Tioga in hopes of making contact with some otherworldly spirits. Or maybe I'll just get drunk and fall down the stairs. Wait, Mom's going to be there. She wouldn't approve of the drinking. Okay, fine, we'll stick with attempting to make contact with the spirits of Tioga.
In preparation for my big night, I thought I'd post some of my favorite photo moments from my favorite place on Earth. And so I give you...more Tioga.

Tioga staircase. Room beyond is the general store. That window in the background is the same window as in the first photograph.

Top of Tioga's staircase. The window is about six inches off the ground. A tall guy would have to duck while upstairs. I swear people were shorter back in the day.

There's this beautiful wooden hutch that separates the kitchen from the dining room. I believe it's original to the house. I used to dig through its drawers for "treasures." A few fun antiques, but mostly just mouse poop.

This is where Jason Voorhees would sharpen his machete if he lived in Tioga. Then again, maybe he's unknowingly stopped by...

This is the original wood burning stove. Not sure if it's still there, maybe hiding under the junk, but there was one of those old school irons sitting on the stove top. The kind you set on the burner to get hot so you could iron your clothes. It's heavy as hell. I know, because I dropped it on my toe once as a kid.

This is the cool kind of stuff that is all over Tioga. I should get Antiques Roadshow to visit.

I think I'm going to steal this and put it on my wall. Right next to my framed photograph of the Maytag repair man. Just kidding. I don't have one of those...yet.
