From Farmer's Almanac  2017 page 100 WHY ARE THERE MORE STARS IN THE WINTER One reason is that the cold air doesn't have as much moisture as warm air! Summer skies often appear hazier because actually, they are. The warm moisture -laden atmosphere of summer is thicker and less transparent, than the crisp, cold winter dome , making it harder to see what lies beyond.    Any more ,it's hard to tell stars from Satellites    A Lindley summer day

             Wednesday September 23,1847 Cook's Turn out was a Lindley stop . The present Tannery Creek was originally called Cook's Creek --named for the descendants of David Cook who arrived here in June 1790 with Col.Lindsley and settled in that area. I have never found a date when the name changed,  but am guessing about 1865 when the Tannery business opened . The 1873 Lindley map shows Cook Station of the Corning -Blossburg Railroad  at  the end of Tannery Creek  Road. ( Another guess is that the location of a  RR stop   probably entered into the decision to build a tannery there. ) From 1990 Lindley History  Looking Back 200 years Lindley RR Depots Research shows that the Station Depot was moved further north from the present Lindley Bridge RR crossing. Lindley at one time had 4 stops on the railroad.  (Presho -Cook Siding  -Lindley Station and  *Lawrenceville- (*actually in Town of Lindley).
