Highland is known for its rocky soil and most people don't have the patience or the equipment to do anything about it, but Carl took a bucket and spent hour after hour picking up rocks from his and his brother Wayne's fields. Clark said "you never have been any good to help, I only take you for the conversation", so he got up and continued to accompany Clark for many years.Īfter his accident Carl felt like he wasn't good for much but one thing he did was so impressive-he picked up rocks. Shortly after the accident Clark went to his house to rouse him to go on the route and Carl told him he couldn't go, he was of no value to him.

They entered the abandoned home of Henry and Cora Strasburg (Number 80 on the 1958 Highland map - 5880 W 10400 N) and started a cardboard box on fire, thinking it would soon die out.
