The hired help

One of the property lines is roughly down this low spot. Note old oil tank from probably around 1900.

We hauled wheat in one like that when it was brand new! It was one Summer I worked for a custom cutter.

On grandfathers farm, on the farm lane to the bottom of the hill, on a beach tree, dad had carved that he killed a bear there in 1938. He would have been 14 at the time. Dad at the "bear tree" in 1976.

Lightning hit this tree in 1977, above our pond.

One of our neighbors, who was about 80 at the time showed me their hunting pictures.
Him and some other farmers had chipped in to by a Harley, because it could go on the forest trails and had enough torque to drag out a bear.

The picture was him and the others standing around the bike with bear attached looking very proud of their cleverness.

Being an absolute auto nut as a teenager, I built dozens of AMT models!!!! I didn't have this one though....

That might have been the water tank from hooterville.
