did some exploring this past weekend in the back country , well its about 20 minutes outside of town and almost no one lives back there anymore so i'm pretty much free to check where ever . i've done some research and about 100 years ago or later the area was all divided into 100 acre lots and alot people tried to settle and start farms but almost all failed and were replanted with red pine trees in the 30's .

the lot where iwas digging the bottles was the site of an old cabin and a 100 acre lot that was originally settled over 100 years ago . the building has long been torn down , it existed until the early 90's cause i remember seeing it as a kid .

Always nice to get out in the country Ryan . I live rural here in the states , so I am kind of in the country so to speak . Twenty years or so ago there used to be quite a few log cabins about in my area , there is still a few around yet . The big thing got to be that people would buy them , number the pieces and take them down and put them back up on another piece of ground . I knew one guy that bought them and put them back up on his property . He was actually attempting to make a town with them , post office , store and so on . I never did go and see what he had accomplished . He has passed away quite a few years ago now , not sure if the cabins have been preserved or not .
