Fencing on my rock farm ;)

[quicksandfarmer]

My experience is the rocks are nearly worthless and all the money is in hauling them.

Coal and oil are just there in the ground, all the money is in digging them out and delivering them. Same with gold I guess.

How did that pipe get there?

Drilled down so I can get water, it just 20m or so long, it replaces my old well.

This is how we deal with Rocks and fencing where I live.

Is that a "slave" fence? We visited relatives in Tennessee a few years back, and they pointed out some old stone walls that they said were built by slaves in the 1800's and were still standing.

Some isolation

Good Lord - - I have access to a potential gold mine. The neighbors property has miles of "rock walls". From when the original homesteaders cleared their fields. These "walls" are about 2 1/2 feet high - about 12' to 15' wide and go for miles. Biggest rocks form the outer edges with smaller rock filling in the middle.

The homesteader on this land - 1890's - reportedly had five sons. I wonder what they did for fun - - no question what they did for work. There is even an old rock sled over by the homestead site.

One of these days I and my trusty camera will go over and photo some of these walls & the old home site. All that remains of the homesite is the rock foundation.

What they did for fun ?
