If ya have any questions about a pic......just ask.........





This part is called "Gladie"













Things in the old barn.......can you name them?

Great pics cavey!! As for naming stuff- the third pic of those is a double yoke(sp) for pulling a plow; the 4th one looks like a grinder of some sort; 5th one(I cheated and read the sign) is a one row corn combine; and the last one is a chopping block for wood or chicken heads...take your pick - the rest I can't get to open right now....

So, How'd I do?? Looks like a great place, where is it? (edited to add- I see now it it Dan'l Boone park..... guess I should read a little more carefully, huh
