I arrive late (I didn't have a map). After picking up the keys from the old lady who owns and will be demolishing the place to sell the property, I pull into the front gate area and park my pickup. I sit on the tailgate of my truck with a cup of java in one hand and a donut in the other. I am wondering who else will show up when my eye catches a flash of sunlight reflecting off a piece of broken glass that is laying on the ground next to the chain link fence that surrounds the old factory. I walk over and pick up the small shard of glass and am shocked to discover what it reveals. It is embossed with a portion of a word that I recognize as being that of a turn of the century bottle from a Leavenworth, Kansas bottler. But instead of the entire word "Leavenworth," it is broken off near the middle and simply says ...
"Leave"
Perhaps this place is haunted after all. And where the heck is peejrey? I sure could use some help and support right about now. [:-] We only have one week to pick this place clean. That is if we survive!
I called Bob....."Well.....When i left i forgot to to grab my flashlights.......I went to a walmart, and the line was soooooooooooo longggggggggg......." Bob didn't sound to happy.....
I told him to get his tent up and i would be there in an hour........
I arrive to find charlie and bob chowin down on some sausages....An our had passed and i had set up my tent, i went over and showed the guys the map........
Well, it took me two weeks to drive 200 miles, I started out towing my van behind the Stanley steamer at 10 MPH but it finally broke down, but some antique car nut stopped and traded me his '34 Ford pickup for the dead Steamer on the spot, so I finally made it to the dig site, still towing the stupid van (need somewhere to keep the bottle boxes & extra beer) - and what do I find? I don't have a clue yet, let me see that map...
Rat,...I'll offer you a trade.... that O.P. olive yellow "Dr. Laywer's Screaming Bilious Dispepsyia Stomach Bitters" I found near the creekbank, for the 34 Ford...[] What say?
I might have taken that trade, except the bottle was ABM and said 'Wheaton' on the bottom - Cyber's getting toasted, maybe you trade him for something before he sobers up. Actually,with sausage and catfish and a keg, I think we're all getting toasted. My vision's going funky...maybe that bottle was pontilled...maybe green M & M's cure cancer...maybe calico cats can learn to drive a Jeep...WHAT THE HELL WAS IN THOSE SAUSAGES?!!!
