The Environmentally-Conscious Mountain Man



Was there in 92, had a great time blacksmithing for the folks. My son was 2 years old I believe at the time. Got to visit my great Uncle Mike Manascoe and aunt Chris out on Burma road while I was out there.
So glad you had a good time, Mike!
My blood line is Daniel Boone Sanford last of the real mountain man and my mother was Native American Apache..
Very cool! You’re basically living history!
