Beautiful pix. Love them poppies. LK wood and them were a real buncha nutballs. We were up in Old Denny this weekend on New River, up the old mule trail from Korbel about 60 miles. Amazing look at tons of old crap from 100 years ago when there were 650 whites, 250 Chinese, 65 indians and 5 coloureds on New River lookin for that thar gold. Many remains still up there, much of it packed out from Uniontown's Brizzard's store in Jacoby's Whorehouse.
Now, who the hell was Jacoby?
