Day after Thanksgiving. “Black Friday” was spent installing road signs and walking the property, with a stop at Capelli Wines.
El Dorado National Forest, past the Swansboro Airport and up Mosquito Road, 1972
This must have been shortly after Dad returned from Viet Nam and bought 55 acres here. That parcel has grown to 90 acres now, with half of it bordering National Forest land.
The rad Pontiac station wagon is long gone. But, the sign is still there. And, I’m still here.
