Whatchu doin` runnin `round in my woods???  We was runnin` dat thang jus` las` weekend!
   Ya REALLY wanna be careful messin wit` other people`s toys ya know?
   Actually, a nice find ya got there, I don`t think there`s a lot of those things left sitting around in clearings anymore.   You didn`t happen to bring it to the house to see if it`d still work didja?
  You might even find a couple folks in here to sample the goods, you know, to see if it`s fit to drink? Any volunteers? I`ll take the second shot......

wish theyd a left us something to whet r whistle wit....but no.
we left her be.
pretty familiar with the surrounding area. and know numerous landowners too.
just never been right in this particular spot before.
that copper vat is a thing of beauty and to be honest, hard to leave behind.
but couldnt bring myself to touch any of it. it was all a thing of beauty really.
wouldnt take much to get er up n running again...

I was talking to Pappy a few weeks ago and he want's to build a still and try that creek water making thing out.  Sounds like it might be fun to do.  "Twin Oaks Creek Water"  now that sounds like a mighty good name!

That is a thing of beauty. Now days it's meth labs that you stumble upon.. And the scary folks that run them.
