    Quarantine fever Show & Tell: What do you got?

    I found this rock when I was young maybe 18 or 20. It is carved. It looks to me like it is a map. It also matches up somewhat with the river system of the area. It has always been one of my most treasured possessions. This is a small rock, it fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. On the other side it looks like it has a mountain where the river system began from, pretty cool.

    Here is the current river system from the place where I found it. I wonder about the age of the map, and perhaps if it tells a story of how the rivers once were at a specific time in history? There is some resemblance to the current river system. But the Missoula floods came through many times and there are 3 miles deep of lava flows that depressed the land into a basin hence the name Columbia Basin.

    I have guns. And a big dog that doesn't like unannounced visitors. He's not really to keen on announced ones either.

    I also have an American flag I fly proudly.

    OK, I've got this, an aerial photograph, colorized, of the old farm. My grandfather grew corn and had milk cows and goats and chickens. In the background you can make out the river and mother from a steam locomotive (dates the picture somewhat). It's in northern Illinois up near Wisconsin. I grew up there, my parents and I lived in the top floor on the left side of the house--my uncle lived on the top right side--till we moved into town when I was about 5.
