Large bank barn burned down in 1990's.

3868 Cole Hollow Road. I lived in this house from about 1983 until 1994. I was 6 when we moved out to the farm. It was owned by a farmer, Harold Mooberry then. We rented it from him and I spent a lot of summers working for him, bailing hay, harvesting crops, etc. My dad taught me to drive this old green farm truck when I was like 9. Its a 6 bedroom. Huge house. 4 bedrooms upstairs and a curved staircase at each end. That big barn in the photo burned down in the early 90's. The one to the left was replaced with a Morton Building type barn shortly after that.
I loved growing up out there. As I got older and could ride dirtbikes and go-carts, I would always have friends out. There was also a pond at the far end of the field at the bottom of the photo that I used to fish at a lot. A lot of really great memories out there. There's a whole lot more houses out there nearby now than there were back then.. if you continued down that gravel road on past our house towards the right there in the pic, the next proprty down was owned by Wayne Geiblehausen, not sure if I spelled that right. That house burned down sometime before we moved in, but he still had a barn on the property that he raised show animals in. About a quarter mile or so on past there, at the end of the gravel road was the Gambles farm.
