I got married at this bridge 17 years ago. There are four covered bridges left in Missouri and this one is the longest. Thanks for looking!
Did get out and enjoy the day. Cooked about 40 pounds of fish for a men’s fish fry at our church. Thoroughly enjoyed the weather...and the fish!! Then I cleaned up my truck; first time the weather has been any good for that.

Re: Knives in the Wild
I'm not an expert on anything but from the size of the vascular tubes it looks to me more like oak or chestnut than a maple or "poplar" & chestnut would probably be decomposed by now. Nice knife, though. That I do know. And a nice shot.jmh58 wrote:Thank You Greg!!!![]()
Philip.. I do not know know.. Sorry..That pic was taken in a State Park along a trail.. That tree must have blown down and blocked the trail.. Cut to remove.. There is a lot of Poplar, Maple and Oak there..

Re: Knives in the Wild
From 1997-1999, we were stationed in southern Turkey, at Incirlik Air Base, near Adana. One weekend, we went to the coastal town of Mersin. It was in an old, market stall...that a man, working with rudimentary tools was making and selling these goat horned, friction folders and selling them for $1.50 I think I bought about 6. I gifted 4 and kept these 2. They easily take a shaving-sharp edge and hold it pretty darn well. I use them to take the hide off and for deboning, when I clean deer. "Pointy" works well, for me. Unfortunately, I didn't get a deer this season and they got no use. Never-the-less, they have a position of display, on one of our living room shelves. Nothing fancy...but I wish I'd bought 100 of them.
