The invention of a horse drawn rake in the 1800’s made the process of collecting hay much more efficient. The horse drawn rake could collect about 8 times a much as someone raking by hand. This lead to more hay gathered to feed the stock and more time to do other chores,before winter set in.

the arizona desert can be a harsh place to drive, especially 50 years ago…radiators would overheat, tires would swell and go flat and the lack of air conditioning would test the endurance of the most hardy…then, after almost 1800 miles, there were the mountains…route 66 reached the mountains in western arizona…here the going got even worse…switch backs up and over and down would put a worthy vehicle to the test…there at the base was cool springs, the last oasis before heading up and over…here you could get fresh water, a cool drink and have the car looked over before the grueling climb toward california…pictured here was the alternative…for those unable to make it, their only hope was to be towed back to the start and get patched up for another try…

A hay rake drawn by horse came onto the scene in the 1800’s. This made the process of collecting hay much more efficient. The horse drawn rake could collect about 8 times a much as someone raking by hand. This lead to more hay gathered to feed the stock and more time to do other chores, before winter set in….Also pictured is a split-rail fence.

Here on Maui, we have a neighbor who decided to build a fence out of old surfboards. Well, now there are 600+ surfboards surrounding the property and the number grows daily as folks simply deposit their old hardware onto the property without giving it a second thought. I took this from the road using my Fujifilm 6×17 film camera (for sale now!) This fence has recently made international news and is a “Mecca” for all tourists to photograph.

In the early days fodder to get the stock through the winter was usually hay. The whole process was done by hand in the earliest days later a horse draw hay rake like the one shown was used. The hay then was place by hand into stacks around a pole to help keep it from blowing away. By pressing the hay down as they started and latter by the weight of the hay, it would become fairly waterproof. This took a certain skill by the stackers. The hay would cure by the heat generated by the release of moisture in the hay and compression. A fence was then place around the stack to keep the stock out until it was time for them to feed on it….Image was taken on The Mountain Farm Museum, GSMNP. The barn seen is the Enloe-Floyd Barn, and is of the Shotgun style

This may not look to be that comfortable to ride. It was a lot easier that raking hay by hand. This old horse drawn hay rake could rake bout what 8 men could do in a given time. That would leave a lot of time for other chores. More often then not, one of the younger kids would drive the rake, and the older kids and men would gather and put up the hay. This was pulled thru the field of cut hay. The tines would collect the hay. When they were full the lever would be pull releasing the hay in a pile. Then it would be gathered and taken to where they stored it. This may be crude by today’s standards but in its hay days this was a major improvement to putting up hay…….image taken at the Mountain Farm Museum at the Cherokee NC entrance to the Great smoky Mountain NP

This look into the past is preserved at the Mountain Farm Museum in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. This park is different in many ways from a lot of the other National Parks in the US. It is one of the 1st to have the land bought soley form logging companies and individuals. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 familys were displaced in the early 1920’s and 30’s when they sold their land for the purpose of a National Park. The park service also desided they wanted to preserve the way of life of these early pioneers. Throughout the park old structures have been preserved. Here at the Mountain Farm Museum and at the Cades Cove Visitors Center are 2 places where a whole farm was preserved. The only building here that was originally here though, is the barn, the other structures were moved from various places in the park to here. Another note of the parks uniqueness is they is no charge for entering due to an agreement with the states of Tennessee and North Carolina

Just one of the many scenic bends in the Canal du Midi, France, which features a tow path along one side of the canal. In days long past, the path was used by the oxen to pull the boats along the length of the canal. Nowadays, it is used as a bike and walk path. The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
