An RV trip from Milwaukee to North Carolina took us along some "red roads"....off the interstate to avoid some of the trucks/traffic and give us a look at rural America. We like to make some of the trip on these smaller roads through towns we've never seen before, along fields and farms and through neighborhoods new to us. Many of the small towns are kind of "sad" and a bit left behind, others are still vibrant and boast well kept historic homes and buildings.
But when we drive through the countryside and see a home or barn such as these,
I can't help but wonder who, when, why, where? who used to live there? When did they leave and why? Where did they go? My imagination moves from one possible scenario to another. I'll never know, but these ghostly used-to-be homes and barns are some kind of testament to American history.
I wish I knew.
