I've been an avid insulator collector for the past year. Most of my collecting is done along railroad grades, but I sometimes collect along telephone and power lines. As everyone knows, its hard to pick a most favorite or best insulator, so I've tried to no avail in deciding on either a CD 151 in blueish aqua, CD 152 green Hemingray-40's, or CD 154 cornflower blue McLaughlin's. Even though you can buy and trade for very nice pieces, I feel the best ones are self collected. Speaking of self collection, its interesting to note that most of mine have been located in the dirt next to the pile, not on it! It just goes to show that the best aren't always in the air. Aside from insulator collecting, I enjoy building and flying model airplanes, model trains, bottle digging, rock collecting, and writing. I'm fourteen & in the eighth grade.
