Re: PESO - Homestead II
Yes it is, I am lucky that way. The valley my father grew up in has amazingly changed very little in the last 40-50 years (mainly because it's economically depressed, which, I guess, it good for preserving things). Well, I thought it wasn't too bad as is, but I'll crop a little off the left later. Thanks also to Dave, Brian, Bob, Christine, and Bruce for your comments as well. Much appreciated.

Re: PESO - Homestead II
Marnie, The weeds add a lot to this image, and don't detract from the cabin's texture. Without them, it's just split logs and a window. Regards, Bob S.
