Well, the stay started off pretty slow for me today. I set my alarm for 9 am but I forgot to make sure Sunday was enabled.....needless to say I didn't wake up til a quarter after 11! After getting up I ate some breakfast and ended up burning up 3 hours helping get my in-laws pontoon out of the garage and in the lake for the year.
Right around 3 I was able to finally get to the small ghost town about 25 miles away that my mother-in-law told me to go check out. She told me to go talk to the only resident of the town who lives there with his wife and kids. We ended up talking for dang near an hour, but, a wealth of information he gave me.
The little town was started back in the late 1800's and was supposed to have the railroad come through it but plans were changed in the early 1900's and the town was left with no tracks. The little town pretty much stayed quite small until about 15 years ago when it was pretty much abandoned.
Not much of the original buildings remain but the guy who lives there showed me where they used to have an old dance hall and right next to it they had an annual get together during the summers that probably goes back to the 50's. That is where I hit the hardest today.
I managed to get 10 wheats (One is not pictured because I gave it to the guy who showed me the spot), 2 1964-d Rosies(one of which I nicked.....pinpointing was off a bit), a 1942 and 1943 Canadian penny and a small bracelet type thing with the name Jean inscribed on it. At first I thought the little bracelet might be silver but I'm thinking it's aluminum......its really soft metal.
