Fence Post Mystery
I was walking along a large slough and discovered a lone fence post. It was an odd find as there didn’t appear to be anything to contain within a fence and the post wasn’t adjacent to a pasture where you would want to keep cattle out of the slough. So why would you put fence around a slough? Unless the slough didn’t exist when the fence was built. The post’s bleached and somewhat decayed appearance suggests it’s been there a long time and the slough didn’t appear to be very deep. Mystery solved?
