The broken down barn in the snow

November 30, 2010

We went looking through this old broken down barn for a date post (where my buddies grandfather had carved the date they bought the barn; 1943). We searched through the barn for about 45 minutes, ripping apart old doors and walls to get to old support beams (where, we were told, it was carved). We couldnt find the date… finally my friends mom pulled up in her car and asked if we had checked the timbers that were lying near the side of the road. The first one we rolled over was the date beam. Bummer :-)
