The Pile

The writer of the original blog (Russell Meyers) wrote:
"I have a history of growing up in a rough neighborhood just south of an Army base during Viet Nam, with drug dealers, railroad tracks and empty fields nearby." ....maybe you're on to something harry!

I didn't meant to imply that the op buried those "bodies".... I meant the po (previous owner) ...who evidently never heard of the phrase: "Not in MY Backyard!"
...I'm starting to think we'll find a pile of second hand blogs at the bottom! We need to dig up Denver, Ernie & Gomer!

How can we have an underground cliff-hanger??

Where I grew up piles like this were common. We all had big back yards (we had 10 acres and an old foundation from a torn down greenhouse) and everyone took what ever they didn't want to haul away to "the pile" and tossed it on. Our pile was in that foundation and was HUGE. Do some roofing and end up with too much tar paper? Toss it on. Got a bunch of scrap lumber you don't feel like cutting up? Toss it on! The neighborhood bully grabs wimpy Billy's new tenny and throws it over the fence. Billy is never going into that creepy guys yard to retrieve it. Toss it on! Tired of cutting up all that #&^%%$^&%^ running bamboo and hauling it to the dump? Toss it on!

Really nasty stuff burning in the fireplace? Garbage. I'd bet the people that lived there before this guy were originally from the country where you could toss your garbage in a 50 gallon barrel and burn it. We could until I was in my teens and we moved into the city. We had an ally behind us where everyone had a barrel and we burned all our garbage in it. Some days the neighborhood was just gross from the stuff that was burning. They moved to the city or the laws changed and they found a way to continue in their habits.

Sorry, I see no mystery here.
