"I 
            moved up to above the Eddie Mine summer of '74. The Hermit was livin' 
            up there by otter creek, and had all these forts. I built a fort up 
            by Eddie Mine. Paul was the one who invited me up to the 80 Acres. 
            I moved up into different other people's cabins. I stayed in the log 
            cabin. I remember Paul lived in the cupcake, Floyd lived in the community 
            house. Melvin was like my best friend when we were up there - we used 
            to hang out all the time. We used to take his flatbed truck to the 
            farms around there and load manure with pitchforks. We got manure 
            from Mac and Wanda's dairy farm on Childer's Road. The goat man lived 
            out Cape Blanco road. He was real old and had lots of goats and would 
            milk them and fill up quart canning jars for one dollar a quart. He 
            talked like a goat."    -kim  |
