Dale Weir General Very interesting and mysterious. This photo seems to show the microwave tower on the west end of the little house. The Yard 2 photo clearly shows it on the South end, next to the gon. The new paint on the building nearly eliminates that corner of the tower. This is interesting to me, because on Superbowl Sunday night about 10:30 that entire building blew up from a propane gas leak. Our B & B flew into highear and had put another shelter up in about two days amidst 40f and drizziling rain. 8/10/2011 11:09:03 AM
Dale Weir General Boy did I goof that one up! The year was about 1995. and the roof was tossed out beyond where you see the shadow in this. Thanks Chris for posting these! 8/10/2011 11:14:23 AM
