I see a stop sign so it must be on a corner. I'm surprised that so much vandalism has occurred if it is that exposed. I might have been more hesitant to go in and "get caught" under those circumstances. I am on the fence about taking anything since, in my ramblings, I seldom found anything as neat as that upturned table. You do know how to find at least some of the story? Take the address to the Register of Deeds office in the county where it is located and ask about ownership. Loved sharing the experience. <br />Sami @ Pontifical.s PorchSami Pat https://www.blogger.com/profile/16545531406668058733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-39593207701537081242010-11-15T10:09:16.291-05:002010-11-15T10:09:16.291-05:00What an adventure! lucky you
