In 1880, Jacob Keffer owned this house, and another down the road, and the real estate between them.

**added by doom vs. April 1, 2012:

Added this location to the db as a dupe...we were unaware it was in already via mobileworks.

After visiting some targeted hits with Phrenzee and ms DeKay, we had some time left over so did some freestyling. Along the way we visited this location which they had cased prior but not visited. It seemed very sketchy at first...actively in use for farming judging by the pile of God's own fertilizer piled high in a concrete receptacle behind the place, as well as fresh tracks from a very large vehicle in the driveway. The house itself we were still uncertain about despite the trashy appearance and large hole in the addition around back. You never know if a nutter still resides in places like this. After some probing, it was deemed clear for infiltration. What a sty! The first thing I noticed beyond the piles of crap were the Vapona strips black with fly carcasses. Strange too...either the farmer sits himself down on a trash pile and gets pie-eyed before going out on a blaze of glory in his tractor, or locals are using it as a place to consume their bevvies. It was full of beer cases. That being said, and despite the piles of garbage, there was no vandalism really to speak of outside of the mess bandits make. We would have gladly spent more time there documenting and sifting through the material scattered about, but felt it prudent to get in and get out and be satisfied. When pulling out, we saw a tractor coming down the road towards us...perhaps this was the farmer and therefore perhaps we made the right decision. Warrants a return for sure! DOOM UPDATE ; Flattened , GONE , dam... that must have taken a few dump trucks.
