Have some pics to post from my trip to Larry's back in August. Better late than never. Enjoy.
Brought my turkey fryer along and the second night i was there i cooked a turkey Larry had. Was delicious of course.
The Campsite: Only pic i got of Larry and all you see is the top of his head!
I used this tractor a good bit to haul campfire wood.
Cut some trees along this path, some intentional, some not.
Bonfire pile
10 HP motor i bought
10" moldboard plow i bought
Cleaned a big mouse nest out of this tractor, as it wasn't getting any airflow out the front of the engine.
Got to mow the back yard with this 3212H, mowed great and the hydro was smooth as can be!

Nice pics Wes. Nothing changed from when wife and I were there in Sept. 2011. Larry was a neat guy to visit and a very gracious host. Dave |

Cool pictures! That will be a time remembered for years to come. I'm sure a lot of us are jealous of you and Dave for having spent some jawin' time and breaking bread with the boy! |

Wes, just thought I would add 3 pics from Sept. 2011 so the rest on here can see what our friend Larry looked like. He was a great guy to visit and a fair trading partner. Dave

That next to last pic looks like Larry's leg is swelled & reddened. Likely he had health problems he was well aware of but never told us about. Gonna miss his presence & all the pics he posted. |

Daniel, that could be.
Larry was a big man. He mentioned he was something like 6'4" or 6' 5" but that is probably the only photo I have ever seen of him next to someone else for comparison. RIP, Larry, may you find no more rocks in your gardens. |
