Forest Harvey's memory is now, itself, a cherished memory

Comments re article 66277 Forest F Harvey A mule ride with my other Grandpa

By Billy Joe Fudge

What a joy to hear Mr. Harvey's recounting of this life changing event in his life. Now it is one of my most cherished memories.

Mr. Abner Harvey's home was just a half mile from where Linda took the picture of the Knuckle boom loader/bucksaw (See: Scenic Adair Co., KY: Sunset on Sparksville Road/Ky 768).



That is the old Maple tree marking the spot of Mr. Rudolph Bragg's home place. That beautiful rolling field across the highway was a part of Mr. Abner's farm and is one of the most fertile fields in Adair County.

Mr. Harvey is correct in that the trip to the store would have been almost exactly 2 miles.

However the store would have been Wheeler's Country Store or Mr. Sam Baker's store. Maybe the confusion would have been that later on Coomer's Trading Post was established just out toward Chance from Mr. Abner's farmstead. Also, Mr. Sam Baker lived across the road from Wheeler's Country Store. They would have passed within a 100 feet of Mr. Sam's house going to and coming from the store. - Billy Joe Fudge<

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Sunset on Sparksville Road/Ky 768



2014-03-27 - Sparksville Road, between Antioch & Chance, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Inspired by Sherry Phillips' mention of Daffodils in her daily quote for What's Cooking for Wm. T's, I went on a search for Daffodils in Greater Chance area. They were popping up in ditches and rights-of-way, and some whole fields were popping out all over. Always, when you search for one thing, other equally beautiful bonuses occur along the way. This silhouetted piece of timber loading equipment (a knuckle boom loader/bucksaw, we've learned from forestry expert Billy Joe Fudge) was one. It was too, a reminder for us tree-huggers that there is a season for all things, including the harvest of trees - that, indeed, the forest can be managed and provide economic well being as well as unmatched beauty. - LW
