Can I share my strange hobby with you?

Nothing wrong with that. If you enjoy doing that then that's what counts. The one thing I enjoy most about this hobby is there are so many sub catagories and intrests. If you get bored with one aspect there are others to be persued.

I’ll just get right to the point and admit that I have a highly unusual interest. I am a ferroequinarchaeologist, who loves to hike along abandoned or torn out tracks or ROWs; even through the woods, using topo maps.

Also, I enjoy photographing abandoned or extremely lightly used tracks in a particular fashion that I’ll share with you (been doing this all over the US, but these are from my area near Crystal City, Va., and about the first dozen were taken on a recent trip to Austin.

Kinda lonely doing this sometimes as I seem to be the only one interested. Most others are looking for trains.
