Gnaw Bone worn


        We had few minutes running down the Interstate south out of Indianapolis. We took the State Hwy west looking for Brown County State Park. We had been there years before with my aunt and uncle. This time on the way we passed these two structures sitting side by side. Returning back the same way some minutes later we stopped for a quick sketch. This drawing is one of the results of that side trip. These places look like they may be from completely different time periods.
        The town near there was Gnaw Bone, IN. One of the strangest names we ran into on our two week trip. Maybe the guy who built the cabin could remember why they came up with this name...maybe the dog that did the gnawing was laying on the porch of this place at the time. I would guess the road was not paved at the time. Probably not even graveled. The bone has long been gone, but the worn buildings are still standing.
