Neat fence, ever seen one like this?

Really people?

My mother was a Messer, about as German as you can get. But my daddy also spent six months in a German POW camp after being shot twice. So I have mixed feelings on the subject. {and I was joking in the post above}

I'd be interested in seeing pics of unique fences.

U'd have to nique up on me to give me one like it!:laughing:

def a land mark when you are inviting people over. This fence is in Anderson. See it all the time

I don't like the fence but I don't like peperoni pizza either so just ignore it...:2cents:

Thank you, I do want to know more about it I need to stop by and talk to the owner or probably just ask around Anderson

No kidding. As kids, we played The Great Escape for just about a whole summer. Even hand dug a trench 20' , covered it with scrap plywood & dirt, put a plywood floor in it then put skate board wheels on a board so we could be pulled through it with a rope. Even had candles on shelves for lighting, then once through the tunnel it was on to the motorcycles(spyder style bikes with banana seats) and pedalled a fast as we could over the BIG JUMP under a nearby treehouse that doubled as a Guard Tower.

It was a great movie that sparked real live imagination in kids. I wonder how many kids today actually spent their entire summer roaming about their neighborhood, camping out, building forts, riding bikes and shooting bb guns? Sad ain't it? Oh and this forbidding looking fence would have been a challenge to us urchins back then...we would have to sneak in and investigate what was on the other side

Probably not that many unfortunately! Played a lot of "Army" when I was a kid......had some great hideouts!

Wow... sounds very familiar. We could have been friends in the same neighborhood. House construction sites were a haven for grabbing scrap wood and materials for our tree and underground forts. Our bane was on the gravel road that led to the back of the cemetery and the laurel hedge that wouldn't let you get through to see what was behind it. We figured it couldn't be good but we wanted to know.

The Mississippi was a mile from the house. I was forbidden to swim in it by my Mom, way too much temptation. At first we swam in our Fruit of the Looms, but the silt turned them tan.....obvious forensic evidence to any Mom, so we pitched them. From then on it was skinny dippin in the Big Muddy, jumping off grain barges that were moored to the bank & empty one's were about 20' off the water. Tales of Tom Sawyer ran through our heads.....what a great time that now seems like a million years ago.
