This weekend I actually stopped and checked out an abandoned house out in the backwoods of Cassville, Mo. Nothing real exciting, but I rarely have pictures of me exploring, so I'm going to use this opportunity to inundate you with pictures. I'm actually very proud of these pictures because I took them all with my Droid instead of a real camera. It did a great job.

Then I went over to the land where my great-grandparent's house used to be. It burned several years after their death, but the barn and the well are still there. It's still rather boring, but the cell phone camera is still doing an amazing job.

Nice. How old are those structures on your family's land? Historical family remnants are always neat.

Neat old farm. I'm very proud to see you were civilized enough to use toilet paper after you used that well.

Not sure, I will have to ask my grandma next time I talk to her.

Lol. I think what you may be seeing is reflection off of the water that was down there. I don't see any toilet paper in any of the pictures, but in the pic taken down the well, you can see the water. It was pretty close to the surface.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Love the cistern. I have always wanted to see what people back then may have thrown...or hidden...in those things.

Grandma estimates the farm was established around the 1880's. But she's not sure.
