Bodie Wheelbarrows, and a cart

Karen James took these photos, in Bodie, California.

Maybe the legs were wooden, but as all the rest was steel, I don't know!


Of this one, Karen wrote: "I accidentally cropped the front. I liked that it was still filled with bricks."

Mystery Wheelbarrow Rudely Dumped

Thank you, Christine Elizabeth Milne, for sharing this wonderful Wheelbarrow Mystery.



I responded: "That's a heck of a reward for tracks in the field and one cut lock. Also, they got a free wheelbarrow out of it."

Here's where this was originally reported to Facebook, and there are some excellent comments, truly considering every possible aspect. Someone found an ideal solicitor to recommend in case Ken needs legal defense. Though there are guesses at it NOT saying "Ken" but being Russian...



[The comments began April 7, 2018, at that link.]

Painting of her father's wheelbarrow

Eileen Mahowald:

When we bought my father's home and he later passed away we hauled at least 6 dumpsters away. He fixed things with motors and wheels and loved to garden too. Many of my sibling came to claim things and I was glad. I had long before painted a picture of his wheelbarrow by the shed. I had so many lovely images of my dad and the six peach pits he set in the ground on the sunny side of the house had 3 ft peach trees. Precious treasures 💚 I love that😊



Here it is! drawn/painted 1990. At a later date he titled it, "Man's Treasure" the wheelbarrow is laying down.

The original comment was made in 2015 under something I wrote about my own packrat tendencies. Not about a wheelbarrow, but about my collecting, and angst. Now (this blog shows) I'm collecting images and information about wheelbarrows (and thereby about geography and history and art).

For a snowman?
