In an earlier post about a week ago, I mentioned a collapsed suspension ridge crossing a creek I was MD'ing near. At the time there didn't seem an apparent need for it to be there. A few days later I got permission to MD an old homestead (that's another story),that is starting to fall in, close to this location. The owners son told me that 10-15 years ago a group that had paintball wars, had been using that area and had constructed the bridge. It was expensive to build, with heavy steel pipe, quality welding, thick wire-rope and concrete. Over the years the creek flooded several times. After repairing it the third time it was abandoned and the paintball wars are now long over. Also, I had noticed several pallets propped up in the adjoining woods and figured at the time that floods had deposited them. Actually, they were the remnants of the paintball wars too used for protection. Imagine that!
For the last three days during my off-work time I've MD'd the old homestead the gas well property owner was raised in. Thank goodness it's winter (upper 70's and a drought) because the dead grass if it was standing instead of laying over would be a good foot and half feet tall. I've found 14 pennies the oldest one 1944 through 1964 and a clad dime (where is the silver?), a red metal ball point pen (I had forgotten they weren't always plastic), belt buckle, .22 cartridge. Nothing to really brag about but a lot of fun being away from home.
Thanks for reading and HH.
