re: Updated: men stories- "Biscuit" Thompson (Corney Lake) & Sherwood Atkins, south of Minden.

To his credit? he might have been speaking of the woods right next to the pipeline, which are indeed leased out. I was walking the middle and he was standing to the side. I would imagine he watched me until I cleared the private area, idk. I just wasn't in the mood to stop and have a talk. After they made the new dam I boated up as far as could go and got out, thinking I have probably another three quarters mile to stalk to the pipeline. It was about 100 yards. But that area, especially to the west of the creek has always been confusing to me. I have no sense of direction, carry a compose now.

Toughest job I ever had was right in that area, we meet at some store, me and about half a dozen skinny country boys, I was a bigger city boy gym rat. We hauled hall until about 5 o’clock that afternoon. I still don’t know how they threw those damn bales so high, they kicked my arse. i think I made 25 bucks maybe

Middle fork is south of Cypress I am pretty sure. Cypress bottom runs between corney bayou to the north and hwy alt 2 to the south. that's where the bottom sits.
