Hog Hollow Potato Cellar
Larry Prescott, a junior high school art teacher in the area who is taking a few photography classes, showed me some photographs he took of an old dome-shaped potato cellar in the area. Today Jon and I drove out on Hog Hollow Road looking for things and hoping to find that cellar. It was a gorgeous day (a balmy 36 degrees, sunny and no wind), it was fun to be out, and we found the cellar. It's a really strange structure that sits out in the middle of nothing. The interior was just as strange and the acoustics were amazing. If you stood a certain distance from the walls the echos were startling.

After photographing, Jon and I went to look at the Great Gray Owls in the Chester area. We then met our wives for at Chiz's in St. Anthony for supper (I highly recommend the chicken dinner). We then went to Walk the Line, which was playing at the cheap theater in Rexburg. It was a pretty nice day.

Mmmm. Chiz's. Really great food - oddly served at a lunch counter. Some of the best north valley gossip can be heard there at lunch.

Let's plan on eating there when we come up to see you next time. I like good gossip.
So you had chicken, eh? Somehow that doesn't suprise me. Ever heard of pork, beef or fish?

What is this made out of, cement?
They are made out of cconcrete, insulation (which is falling off), and maybe a stucco covering, which has mostly fallen off.
