While exploring the property this week, we again found something of a mystery. We saw it before, but I didn't think to photograph it. It appears to be an earth-bermed condo for some kind of burrowing animal, as it has ventilation holes on top at the back. Anyone have any ideas what it might have been used for? It's probably been there for 25-30 years, at least. I keep trying to think of a good use for it:
The lid of the barrel is lying in front there, waiting to be put back over the opening. Curious ....
Our plans are progressing, and I hope to soon be blogging from This Land, just north of Montello. We have a few million details to see to first, but there's light at the end of the tunnel, and I don't think it's a train. The sock monkeys can hardly wait!
Not sure what the mystery items is, but looks like it has been used for target practice!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! Eager for updates as your adventure unfolds.
xxoo t
You could be right, Toby ... I hadn't thought about that. That could explain the holes. I took them to be air holes, but maybe not. It's still mysterious, though.
ReplyDeleteHey Guys. Glad I could help with Tex! (great container pic) Serenity looks like a nice and comfortable way to kick this phase of life off. I'm excited to get to know you better and learn more about your off-grid motivations and ideas. And, I wish I didn't know a thing or two about renting from the bank! You're on a great path, which I look forward to bumping into you on....see you soon in Montello!!! Preston
DeleteHey, Preston, it was great to meet you, and thanks again for leveling Tex! Serenity has landed in Montello, so give us a holler next time you're in town.
