    A coon, that looked exactly like my pet coon, Terry.
    Picked it up to carry him back home, he struggled and got away.
    When I got back to the house Terry was still in his cage.

    That’s why they wear masks.

    Lucky you didn’t get chewed up.

    I know of two houses in Central Texas where this kind of situation exists. One just outside of Temple and the other outside of Austin. The Austin property was for sale when I looked at it. This was many years ago but as best I recall, it was the grave of a woman (in their front yard) who had died while in a wagon train traveling across, what was then open prairie land and they had buried her there, where she had died. The Temple grave was also in some guy’s front yard, close to his mailbox. Grave of a man who had died while traveling to a pioneer fort/stockade in the area, that had long since disintegrated. (Story as told by the present day home owner). I don’t recall the exact dates, but 1840s - 1850s come to mind.

    This was in the “Cross Timbers” and I can’t imagine a wagon crossing it. It’s hills, creeks, and very thick timber. Probably not as much mesquite & greenbriar as now.
