Quietly tucked away in the holler amongst cedars, forcynthia and blackberry bushes, we visited the old family homestead back during deer season. Actually, I used it as a tree stand, not that it helped. It still stands pretty solid considering it's age. It consists of three rooms upstairs and an open basement, more or less. Now, it's only residents consist of a monstrosity of gray squirrels and the hundereds of spent walnuts, what seems like a raccoon and the basements seems to occupy coyotes on occasion. What you don't see but I know they are there are also the abundance of copperheads.
Behind the old house is a wonderful bubbling spring which is the first to help feed the creek. Not much remains of the farms old hog shed and smoke house.
