Nice.

Here's one area where I worked in oil exploration.

Really? that's too bad. It was a really nice rural area back in the 1970's. B & Mrs B had our own little love-nest in those woods. The locals are probably still rubbing their eyes.

A cheap shack on Torch Lake will set you back $500,000. Is that you they were talking about back in the big weed glut of '72?

The round hole on the SE corner of this island is my teal blind for week after next.

I spent my summers in college working for an Ag Consultant; spent a lot of time in that area. Watched many sunsets from Australia Island, and loved poking around the old cotton gin right off 465. Only saw a couple of eagles though. Is the Lo Store still around?

That picture is Bell Is. infront of Australia. Oh God. Yes the Lo Sto is still around. And you have to go there a few times during the season because that is where the game wardens play poker and I like staying on a first name basis.

The Lo Sto had a pugent aroma that only a country convenience store can have. Smoke, fried chicken, and crickets is how I remember it.
