Title: Those were the days: GPS -1978
Post by: CLKD on August 10, 2025, 07:27:26 AM: 😂 Our GPS in 1978

Go past Mike’s house, then turn left where that old red barn used to be.

Go a little ways till you get to that house where that really weird guy with all the old school buses used to live.

Then keep going until you pass the place where that old lady, (the one we called Meg Mucklebones) lives.

Turn a bit to the right on that bumpy road, cross over cooters bridge, then the house you’re looking for is just past the spot where that dog with the three legs used to chase us. 🐕💨

It was as you’d expect labelled ‘smelly corner.’ It doesn’t smell these days ‘sigh’😂
