Whenever i can, I travel the 'side roads' & stay off the Interstates, (much more to see).
Today I went to Eufala, neat old main street bldgs, & stopped in RGinn's 'old stomping grounds', (Quinton), one old bldg caught my eye, it was Ballards 'trading post', my kind of place.
I bought some arrowheads & foreign coins, & had a good visit with the owner, he had taken over after his Father passed away, we talked about stories of his Great-Grand parents living in a tent, & the lady feeding the Younger gang on occasion, she always refused any pay, but would usually find a Gold coin under a plate when they left.
We may even plan a detecting trip at a spot where the Grandfather found a man sitting under a tree, after raising his hat up, found a bullet hole in his forehead.
I saw Longhorns, old bldg's, etc, nice day out.
PS we had 'blessed rain' today.
