TOPIC:

While watching CBS Sunday morning yesterday, I became aware that it was the anniversary of the death of one of Darke county, Ohio's most famous sons/daughters, the inimitable "Little Sure Shot"... Annie Oakley. Having been eyeballing the weather for the weekend, I was planning on getting her out for a bit anyway, so I said to myself, "Self, the folks at the KZR board might get a kick out of this, time for a pilgrimage!" Powerstroke fan has probably been here, (as he is in the general area), but for those not fortunate to live close enough to make the trip, I have herewith attached the following historical "bike porn" (My buddy Mike calls these types of pics my "Roaming Gnome" shots, LOL !) I always bring a bullet (or at least a brass casing) to leave in the ground when I go, as sort of a "totemic offering to the shooting gods" The occasional passing car aside, this has GOT to be the most serene cemetary I have ever visited...temps were hovering around 50 farenheit, so it wasn't super cold, but wind chill at 60mph or so was a little painful. I hope you all enjoy, I did!

pretty freakin cool!
thanks for posting.

her husband frank butler stopped eating after her death and died 18 days later from starvation.

Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice pictures. I chuckled about the thing where you said you bring brass everywhere. I guess it's a cool thing/sign.

Leon, I did not know THAT! Fascinating!
mdouglas, glad to bring a chuckle! LOL! To be clear though, I don't carry brass/ shell casings EVERYWHERE I go, I just take one with me to leave at Annie's grave when I make a pilgrimage...(She was a sharpshooter, seems appropriate, LOL!)
