on July 16, 2019That was a hard life living in those dugouts. There's lots of them still scattered around Oklahoma, and other states as well I would imagine. Super shot! It's really neat that this one is still standing.

on July 16, 2019Very interesting structure, making use of the materials to hand. Living conditions during the heat of the summer and the cold of winter don't bear thinking about.

on July 16, 2019Very interesting example of handmade highly irregular home made bricks; like the added decorative touch of the elk antler at the peak!
