Old forts, cathedrals, just what works.<br />They say old N14 is the old Chilsom trail, old buffalo trail.<br /><br />Well, I have dug up some old spurs, older ones even have Conquistador helmets, and bags of sliver Spanish crosses.<br /><br />I live here, neon signs, and dinosaur bones.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632021240126981592noreply@blogger.com
