I'm interested in the old ways of farming, and I'm amazed at how resourceful and hard-working the pioneers had to be, in order to be able to make a living in the woods. <br />I've just come back from vacation, so I am busy catching up on blogs and bloggers.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-72221260588142042242009-08-15T13:16:27.214-04:002009-08-15T13:16:27.214-04:00I love your trips!

It is a beautiful setting and must have been a beautiful place to live, although I'm sure it was not an easy life. I love your farm animal postcards. They fit right in with the farm post.

They escaped justice in the US and settled in Argentina in 1901, and lived a gentlemen rancher's life for almost 5 years. Then they assaulted several banks and ended in Bolivia where it is believed that they died in a shootout. <br />Now pouring over your fantastic photos and reading your description, I was transported to that faraway and isolated spot.<br />My wandering Vagabonde, it is always a pleasure and a learning experience to come to your blog.Celeste Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683512170853367791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-38688014402079029192009-08-13T12:15:45.561-04:002009-08-13T12:15:45.561-04:00I also meant to say how gorgeous the rooster is!

Perfect.<br /><br />I was intrigued by the timing of your post too, because last evening I met with a friend visiting whose first book is coming out this year, about her family's Minnesota farm - set right at the edge of the big Midwestern Forest where it becomes prairie. And here you are posting about a woodsy historic farm.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-29814776765814554992009-08-13T10:14:37.941-04:002009-08-13T10:14:37.941-04:00Merci Nancy et Claude pour vos gentils commentaire...Merci Nancy et Claude pour vos gentils commentaires. J’ai encore au moins 3 posts à écrire sur la réservation des Indiens Chérokee, mais demain on part encore pour un mini-voyage dans le centre de la Géorgie.<br /><br />Bonnie – Thanks for your comment. I was also a tour guide in Atlanta for a while, for visiting French dignitaries. It was fun. I remember one time my assignment was to find the 6 best restaurants in Atlanta for a dozen visiting French doctors going to a conference. So, for almost a week I had to dress up and take them to the most expensive and good restaurants! Of course my dinner was paid. I liked that assignment a lot!<br /><br />Hi DJan – we were at the Farm Museum on a Saturday, so there was not much work being done. The museum belongs to the Park Service and I read that they are the one who supervise the planting, etc. I’m pleased you enjoyed the farm as I was afraid that this could be a boring post.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-54510410525105851012009-08-13T09:02:45.637-04:002009-08-13T09:02:45.637-04:00It is wonderful that this has been preserved. I do...It is wonderful that this has been preserved. I do wonder, though, if there are pigs and corn and all the rest of it, are there people who are cultivating this farm? Even to keep it as a museum, it couldn't be so perfectly preserved unless it is also continuing to be a farm. <br /><br />I am learning so much about the area from you. How wonderful that you keep making such wonderful posts. I look forward with anticipation to your next one!DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-75908541564361442482009-08-13T08:09:35.458-04:002009-08-13T08:09:35.458-04:00What an amazing site!
