Last week when Touch Up Tommy was here Donald took us on another 4 wheeler evening down in the Saline River bottoms. Donald grew up in this area and he knows it like the back of his hand and boy was it exciting.
This is an old cabin that was the Young's (Miss Peggy and her husband) for years. It sits on the edge of the river and it is rustic to say the least. I understand that Mr. Young had a hand pump for water and no lights. Can't you just imagine this camp in the late 50's or early 40's? This is about 5 miles from nowhere back at the end of a several "deer camp trails".
Its abandoned now but you can just imagine the times here at this ole cabin.
On up the river Donald took us to ole "Tubby's " camp. Its floating out in the water, tied up of course but,,,,,, a little too snakie for me. Tubby has offered this to Donald any time he wants to spend the night but,,, I don't think he (or Kay) has taken up the invitation. This is the area where Donna, Lisa and Mark grew up riding 4wheelers, mini bikes and the like. This also the area where everyone went to swim. Can you just imagine swimming in the water with all the game (and snakes) around? By the way, that's ole Tommy Touch Up there with Donald. Yours truly was just there for camera work I guess.
Sad Sad Sad.
Finally, while we were scrapping, painting and generally working our butts off, Pink Kitty was happy to play on the scaffolds. This is about 5 feet off the ground on a an old 2X8 board. She was just enjoying the bugs and stuff and not even aware of the location.
Life is great, many memories are building, so to all the family and friends, come on down and get you own. Before long, we'll have a place for anyone to "hang out" and enjoy the days of the past and the pleasures of today.
Thanks Donald and Kay,,,,,,,,
PS If you come, plan on staying for a day or two. It just not enough time to get the full benefit any sooner!!!
