Dan and I met at the Piggly Wiggly in Henderson Tn. Wednesday morning and we took my car down toward Bolivar to pick up another friend of mine, Leon Hill. I needed a drivers door handle for my 1994 Mercury Sable and I knew there would be one at Brown's auto salvage off Hwy 72 in Mississippi half way between Walnut and Corinth Mississippi. 700 acres of old cars, cash only. We'd talked about stopping at a restaurant in Grand Junction Tn. and visitiog a friend/collecter Joe Gowan in Grand Junction. We ate and found Joe's home and visited with him for about an hour. Joe had mopeds, Corvairs (a lot of Corvairs) Oliver Cletracks, Avery,Cletrack,Minneapolis Moline tractors, and a lot of things we didn't see. After we left Joe's I went over to an old abandoned Monument business to check to see if there was a old wooden boom crane used to lift monument stones on and off wagons. It was still there.(first Photo) We then took the back roads tour straight down to Highway 72 across the state line and turned east on the highway and went to Walnut then on to Brown's. When we got to Brown's I told Mr Brown what I needed and he sent one of his yard helpers out to find what I needed. The helper was gone a good half hour and I was thinking "this is going to cost me" but when he got back. Mr Brown charged me $10.00 (Dan and Leon said he had more than that in labor)
