This past Saturday, I found myself in Decatur, Illinois, visiting with an old family friend, making a lap around an ancient trailer park and the woods behind it, AND hitting a Swap Meet put on by a club whose name I forgot.  How's THAT for an eclectic weekend?

So as not to bore folks with my old guy memories, the short story is that we lived there when I was 7 years old, and I'm continually amazed that it's STILL there...stuck away on its own dead end road.  

Because of a bout with whooping cough when I was 3 or 4, that I was told nearly took me out, I was severely sheltered in my early years, and literally busted loose when we moved here.  My poor mom would have had a stroke if she knew just how far I ranged out when she wasn't looking...but if you live near a stand of woods, or buy a kid a bicycle, you got to watch him every minute! Smile

Anyway, here's a drone photo of the park and its patch of woods.

There was a pretty good turn out for the Swap Meet, and I was able to visit with several friends from other clubs.  I scored a slightly abused, but very pretty Jim Walker Firecracker .061, along with a nice aluminum spinner.

Wow, I loved every photo.  Tried to pick out the best but they all are the best.  I visited my old home town recently too.  Future wifes home where we flew Walt's hollow logs.  The street where I was run over by a car at four years old spending six weeks in a hospital putting me back together.  It's amazing that any of us survived childhood.
