Likely where Greg, Jim, Sarah, and I were sitting on the hill near the pits. Can't say 100% for sure. Sarah and Jim aren't allergic and I told Greg to make sure he cleaned up really well just in case cause I was breaking out with it already.

I think it's more like 8 hours but it can take as long as a week to form (according to about.com).

That looks awesome Roger! Makes me want to go watch some little rascals, haha. I have a medal pedal tractor that my pappy gave me when I was a kid that I want to restore someday.

That's REALLY cool Roger.
What an heirloom!

Looks like it's had a few 'sudden' stops.

Well it has been in the basement for a very long time as well. My grandfather built the house back in 1942.
