I don't make an effort to live in the past though there are times when it would be all too easy.<br /><br />During the school year we were suburban kids, from the day school let out until it started again, we were farm kids. I feel fortunate to have been part of both and I hope that shows in the stories I attempt to share.Coop a.k.a.

We moved to the suburbs in the '60's and I attended a red brick 4 classroom schoolhouse along with all the local farm kids. Those years gave me a glimpse of farm life that is a treasure all these years later.<br /><br />Your post brought me back in time.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-87250410424732099542017-10-30T19:54:37.256-05:002017-10-30T19:54:37.256-05:00Jason, I think I've seen that show though it&#...Jason, I think I've seen that show though it's been awhile. Thanks for the link, I'll take a look.<br /><br />You scared me with Moleboard; thought maybe I'd misspelled it though didn't remember using it in the Post.<br /><br />That creek ran right through our family's pasture and cropland. A certain Yamaha 125 Enduro I knew well was even sideways in it once, though there were many successful crossings.<br /><br />Using old topo maps, I began plotting out each of their old locations with the intention of riding to and photographing each for no real reason other than to do it. Thanks for the reminder. :)Coop a.k.a.

It's about the most real time look there is, where it's been and where it's going.Coop a.k.a.

Don't see too many of those anymore with conservation tillage and all. - That's the extent of my rural knowledge but as a true Twincitian I've fished that purdy little creek more than a few times.<br /><br />Love the family history and seeing the old schools on the topo. Makes me think about all the teachers that worked there, one in every valley.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044657444756235060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-33813112682816023732017-10-28T10:05:42.600-05:002017-10-28T10:05:42.600-05:00This really makes one realize how spoiled and how ...This really makes one realize how spoiled and how much we have come to rely on weather forecasts. As much as we complain they are wrong, we can get the hourly on our phones, tablets, and laptops. Wow.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
