Lost and Found at the River

Steps to the river....this picture was taken last weekend...it's actually a bit lower than that now..

Last Saturday, Richard, Sarah, Tyler and I were swimming in front of the cabin and our neighbor's son and two friends were swimming in front of their cabin as well....music playing, drinking, etc....They crossed the river  and set up beer can targets on a log and proceeded to shoot at them with a pellet gun....and if that wasn't bad enough, then they started using a 22 pistol!  At some point they decided to make a beer run.

When they came back one of them was looking for something....we could hear them saying "look under

the seat" and stuff like that....anyway, after we got out of the water they were also out of the water and 

started shooting at stuff by their cabin.  I didn't really feel like we were in any danger, just thought it was really rude....and of course alcohol and firearms really isn't a good mix.   When we left they all looked 

pretty dejected and grumpy.....of the two we saw when we left only one even waved at us!   When we got to the top of the hill we had to stop to open a gate (another story) anyway, I got out and opened the gate, 

Richard drove through and stopped then Sarah drove through and stopped to wait for me to close the gate. She jumped out of her vehicle and said well, look at this!  It was a guy's wallet...belonged to the guy that 

waved at us....which by the way was also the guy with the pistol.  Clipped to the outside of his wallet was

his driver's license and a personal check written to him for over $10,000..apparently someone was paying

off a loan he had given someone.  Richard wouldn't let us nose through his stuff, but there was alot of stuff in there, including the one card we did pull out, an American Express Gold Card....Since Richard wouldn't let us nose through the guys stuff, Sarah went on and Richard took it back down there to them...He said they 

were pretty dang excited to see it....while he was gone I took some pictures...most of them I deleted for some reason, but here are the ones I still have.......an old collapsing barn.....

The road to good times!

Old barbed wire encased in an Elm tree.

Pipeline!

Where the old meets the new....a story for another day!

When we got home I searched for the kid  whose wallet we found.....not really at kid at age 34....old enough to know better anyway.  He is some sort of big-wig at a bank in St. Louis.  I would say he has done very well for himself career wise.
