Only the frame and one wheel left but I can only imagine the history behind it.<br />The virus, flu, polio, whatever.

Once in a while I would flush a grouse from the opposite side of one, so I was always ready in case one was there when I approached one. Those were good days when there were plenty of coverts still around. These days I sit on the bank of the river once in a while when I fish which is enjoyable and once in a while I will spot a subtle rise that I wouldn't have seen if I hadn't been sitting there.<br /><br />Best, SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858232423819687001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-57385785824621625942020-03-08T20:38:55.420-04:002020-03-08T20:38:55.420-04:00Mark Kautz

We have an old cemetery in town that is bordered, in some sections by a dry laid stone wall topped with cut stones. Whoever made the wall was a master mechanic. It is beautiful. Would you believe that some people have stolen some of the cut stone toppers. Talk about disrespect.Say a prayer for the thieves. They obviously need help.John Dornikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244892643352562421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-81681376560894590202020-03-08T10:10:17.352-04:002020-03-08T10:10:17.352-04:00Alan,

I'd forget to look for deer and just walk the walls. Beautiful things that have so much history locked up in them. Think of the men who built them, no wonder they died young. mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092336363863109549noreply@blogger.com
