Oh, I don't doubt you ! Often as not, the backstory/details are what really "Make" the story...I know where a GINORMOUS tree trunk lies by the side of a REALLY way back in the sticks country gravel road... And it is covered by a tin roof that SOMEBODY went to a good deal of trouble to put the whole business there... Story is, back a LONG time ago, a bootlegger lived in the little house up the side of the hill across from the big log, you'd stick a $10 or a $20 bill in a knothole of the log, toot yr horn, drive up the gravel road a mile or so, turn around, come back, stop, & pick up your gallon or so of Moonshine, be on yr way... Nobody was ever around the house, if you waited at the log, the guy would not show up, you had to leave.
