Damned if someone didn't rescue it.

Cleaned it out of a house of a recently deceased gentleman. It was in pretty bad shape, but now almost pristine again. Truly, it won't die.

Original wall is all gone. I figure that one will too, given the freeze thaw cycle in that part of the world.

I read that the Grand Cooley Dam will be around for a very long time. What about those stones in Georgia that a mystery man (ted turner) put up?
