I would agree, my grandparents small farm, south and east of here 20 miles or so, is essentially not much different than Appalachia type mountains, terrain, heck of a view nearby right off one of the rural roads. The contiguous lands that abound and were part of theirs, is all stone walls and in the early 80's I was there for 2 years, and I was amazed that some of them were neatly stacked and they ran for miles it seemed. Very large tracts of land in whole, all connected, all in forest at the time, and it is mountainous terrain, lots of boulders and rocks. Not all were stacked 4' high and symmetrical, but there were sections that were, I had never seen a wall intact and that high, someone spent some time on it for sure. I would really like to see it today, sadly they tore the old general store down/house that was theirs and their huge barn as well, that went many years before. Those stone walls, define the word work. I just can't imagine all the hand labor it took to initially clear these fields, and even into the 50's around here it was all fence lines and fields, clean fence lines, meaning someone had to maintain all of them. They'd cringe if they ever saw it today. That era was not long before me, as kids all we knew was barbed wire fences and how to get around, over, through them etc. when exploring the woods, it was everywhere and I still find locust posts and or know where sections still stand, its something when you think of all of it, I'd just have loved to see all the old farms, barns and land the way it was, old aerial photos do give us a glimpse though.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
