    This guy is my hero. I thought maybe my fascination and love of building natural Ozark stone walls might be a bit extreme. I guess I need to step my game up. Thanks for the inspiration Patsy!

      He's a farmer. For him it's better to have a functional so-so wall that keeps his livestock in than a beautiful wall that's incomplete. In that regard his wall is perfect. It's solid and does its job. But to call it a "masterpiece" is a stretch.

      В песчаных карьерах вблизи Москвы встречаются тысячи каменных глыб из месторождений Карелии.
      Тысячи лет назад при Всемирном оледенении эти глыбы были сдвинуты из Крайнего Севера до Москвы .

      Why does the ground not seem rocky? if its old glacier land you wont see rocky outcrops poking out its just boulders and rocks littered into the soil all the way down as far as you can dig. My land looks similar but if you come here and dig a 6 foot hole you will have 10 buckets of good soil if your lucky.
