Vincent and I, joined by Naz, visited a farm in the beautiful Arkansas hills near the small town of Choctaw.  We were lucky to get some great pine boards from a turn-of-the-century smokehouse located on the property (see picture of the smokehouse's foundation with a newly-added fence going over it).  While we were happy to find these rustic boards with a great story behind them, Vincent was less crazy about the ticks that hitched a ride home :)
