[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3210864, member: 58386"] Man, does this bring back the memories so much so that I was contacted today about going out to help but didn't bother to pick up the phone. Logging roads abandoned strip mines and everybody's favorite gas line right of ways. I had one place that was everything my 4x4 van could do to get back into that little piece of heaven .The guy made this cock off remark to me. I said "my childhood home was something like this. When I grew up I got a place in town because I knew 3 things was never going to happen. Winters were never going to get any easier. I was never going to get any younger and the supply of cheap gas and volunteer manpower needed to come out and care for me in my advanced age was never going to get any larger". The guy just stood there with that Bugs Bunny look on his face. The following winter he had the place up for sale. At another similar place, no names.no numbers, nothing, gate across their redneck turnpike. I requested that they post a number at the end of the road. Their response? We'll we don't want people to know where we are. My answer....Does that include, police, fire, ambulance and rescue"? The next trip out they had their number prominently displayed. [/QUOTE]
