This barn is on the North side of CR56/Edwards Road, between the cemetery and CR146/Fender Road. White Oak Creek is just East, so it may possibly be called White Oak Cemetery. I notice that, unlike barns built around here, these barns have the gable ends walled off and have several doors on the eave sides; they often have sheds on the gable ends. Such placement of the doors do not lend these barns to having stalls inside; also, I have noticed that most lack a hay-loft. I suspect the door placement is for better use of floor space for machine repair and maintenance. 39° 04' 43.51" North Latitude 83° 44' 40.16" West Longitude Elevation: 1,005' Photo Taken through the glass of a Moving Vehicle; please pardon the reflections, including my sunglasses.

These barns are on the South side of CR20/North Taylorsville Road, between CR147/Ridge Road and CR62/Roberts Road. The long "tube" beside the near barn is a portable grain auger. Inside the tube is a full-length screw that augers the grain to the top end so that it can then drop into either a grain bin or a larger truck. Examples of some grain augers: sudenga.com/our-products/model-td-450/A couple of very interesting videos showing augers in action: In this video, the screw is visible several times; also, notice the double grain trailers behind the semi: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHRTPxAg6hoTake notice of the style of dump-trailer; these are notorious for tipping over and taking the truck over with them; also notice the Fairbanks & Morse balance-beam scales: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMiriDTtoD8 39° 04' 48.15" North Latitude 83° 43' 47.48" West Longitude Elevation: 1,016' Photo Taken through the glass of a Moving Vehicle CR20/North Taylorsville Road Mowrystown, Ohio Highland County Sunday_19-December-2021  |

This barn is located on the West (North) side of US Hwy 62, just South (West) of the CR61/Wildcat Road junction. It sits nearly in the road. 39° 02' 2.11" North Latitude 83° 42' 16.65" West Longitude Elevation: 1,025' Photo Taken through the glass of a Moving Vehicle Eastbound US Hwy 62 Mowrystown, Ohio Highland County Sunday_19-December-2021  |

It sits nearly in the road. Thinking the road came after the barn. If so, they certainly didn't leave him much land in front. |

This unique barn is located on the East (South) side of US Hwy 62, between CR61/Wildcat Road and "The Old Y". As best I can tell, the round-roofed building is not a true Quonset Hut. There are two well-houses; a very prominent one beside the driveway and another close against the barn. This has been a home-place in time past. From the early 1900s until the mid-1970s, a family could live well from what such a farm would produce; sadly, crops bring no more today than then while everything else has skyrocketed. A town job is not enough to keep the place in repair and it is too far out for a town job to be profitable; so, it sits abandoned, the cropland most likely leased to a big grain producer who is also struggling to make it. In true grim reality, you could give this entire place to a small family and, unless the wife was a school-teacher or registered nurse, they would lose it within five years and be in debt up to their eyeballs. 39° 02' 51.12" North Latitude 83° 42' 14.43" West Longitude Elevation: 1,024' Photo Taken through the glass of a Moving Vehicle Eastbound US Hwy 62 Mowrystown, Ohio Highland County Sunday_19-December-2021  |

It won't let me see the large version; I click and get a blank imgbb page. Not sure why. I tried to add another one but cube isn't working for me right now. I'm curious as to what those rounded things are behind cows. |

Taken in the Fall in Pennsylvania. I LIKE ! It won't let me see the large version; I click and get a blank imgbb page. I never knew it was possible to click on an image and see a larger version. I did click on Helen's barn, and was able to click on it twice to go HUGE on the image! That was really cool!! Of course I have no idea why I was able to do that and you were not able to BuckSkin. But Helen now you know it worked for me! |

Chrome still won't let me see the big picture; usually, it is Pale Moon that misbehaves; but, this time, I used Pale Moon and it went right to the larger version and I was able to view it in expanded mode. I'm curious as to what those rounded things are behind cows. Are they round hay bales? I don't know what else they could be; but, if they are round bales - sat on end - they are some of the biggest I have ever seen. I never knew of a baler capable of a bale any larger that 6' diameter; any bigger and you need a monster tractor to move them around. Those grown Holstein cows are at least seven to eight foot long and some of those bales (if that is what they are) are wider than the cows are long; the ones on the left are huge. But then, thinking of this logically, most round bales are 4x5, meaning they are 4' wide and 5' diameter, so they can be hauled two wide and two high on a semi trailer (or truck flat or gooseneck), without the need for wide load permits and escorts. Most open-sided shed posts will be on 12' centers and 12' to the square; that would make those smaller bales 4x5 as a grown Holstein is about 5' tall and the cows backs are a wee bit above the lower bales. If the posts are indeed on 12' centers, that would make those on the left six footers; there are still a few six-foot balers around. It may just be an optical illusion making the bales appear out of proportion compared to the cows. I am going to declare those to be round hay bales sat on end. Although most people lack equipment capable of stacking round bales on end, they do keep much better and don't squat all out of shape like they do when stacked like firewood - which is the only way most people can accomplish. In the mean time, you need to make a quick trip back to Pennsylvania, get closer, and investigate this further. See that green gate in the foreground --- it would be safe to bet that it was made within ten miles of me - Dunnville, Kentucky - The Gate Capitol of the World |

Thanks Judy and Buckskin. I had thought they were some kind of metal contraptions! In the mean time, you need to make a quick trip back to Pennsylvania, get closer, and investigate this further. Wouldn't I love to do that......my husband said we probably would never find it again as we happened upon it by accident. |

...my husband said we probably would never find it again as we happened upon it by accident. That is one of the many assets of having a GPS enabled camera; lacking that, a GPS trip log captured by some GPS-capable device and then the coordinates transferred to the photos. A simple Garmin device can create a trip log and then there are numerous photo programs that will apply that information to the photos; an older "outdated" Garmin that is perfectly capable can be had from eBay for around twenty bucks. Although I have not fell into the smart phone trap, I understand most smart phones are capable of creating a GPS log. My 7DMkII embeds the GPS info into the photos and can also create a trip log that I can then transfer to photos taken during the same trip with any of my non-GPS capable cameras. Lacking any of that, if I have some idea of where I was, I can just spend hours straining my eyes in Google Earth Pro, find the subject, and enter the coordinates into the photo files. Once I get the coordinates embedded in the photos, I can click the little blue globe icon in FastStone, Google Earth Pro will automatically open, and it will zero in and zoom in on the photo's location, marked with a pin = pretty cool ! |

Thanks for that information, BuckSkin. I am definitely impressed with the location information that you add to your photos.
After reading your post I checked some of the pictures on my phone and did find that they had locations attached. I will have to remember to take a quick phone snap when in a new location
in the future.

This barn and garage are located on the South side of US Hwy 62 just East of The Old "Y" The double-arch concrete culvert bridge at left appears to be two lanes wide on satellite view; it is there for combines and trucks to access the field without getting on the private driveway in the foreground. 39° 03' 49.94" North Latitude 83° 42' 9.48" West Longitude Elevation: 1,056' Photo Taken through the glass of a Moving Vehicle Eastbound US Hwy 62 Mowrystown, Ohio Highland County Sunday_19-December-2021   |
