A newly discovered old cabin . . .

While feeding the cows with cousin Greg (see post below), we saw a cabin that we (Chad and I) had never seen before. Junior's (Chad's dad) grandparents lived in this cabin which is on property that is no longer owned by someone in the High family. (Greg and his dad, Chad's uncle Jimmy, tend to the cows on this property that is adjacent to High land.) So. . . . we went and checked it out the next afternoon. Here are the boys being silly in the back seat - don't worry- we just drove through the fields and didn't buckle up - it was way back in the woods!
These are some pretty FAKE smiles if you ask me! (But still three of the cutest boys around!)

This is a little better - Hunter, Lawton and Houston
This is where Brents and Enna McPherson lived - Junior's grandparents. Part of the house/cabin was later moved closer to the road. (Thank goodness because it was way back! :)
This is a close-up of some of the wallpaper that was peeling off of the wall. If you look closely you can see Cartoon Follies of 1926 printed on the newspaper/wallpaper. We're not sure exactly when the cabin was built.
The boys were throwing rocks into the natural spring right beside the house. Where there are rocks, water and boys, well, you know what happens!
It must have been a big splash!

It was pretty cool seeing a part of the High history on the farm. The video in the next post gives some perspective!
