Default Funny/unusual article in todays paper....

Local reporter/photographer took his motorcycle out in the desert of S. Idaho... left civilization and set his odometer to '"0"... It read that he drove and drove down this dirt road without ever seeing any signs that man had been there - extremely desolate country !! ...... looked at his odometer and it read 49 miles - then he saw this run down log shack with no windows, an old windmill, corral and a hulk of an old Oldsmobile - everything grown over with weeds.... Thought it looked neat so he started taking pictures of it - noticed something bright on the doorway ... went up closer and there was a plastic bag on a nail by where the door used to be... it read .....



U.S. Census 2010



I can't get this picture out of my mind .....

Story is in todays Twin Falls "Times News" in the 'lifestyle' section....
