Description
The signs on this shack were painted by a retired sign painter who had moved to Tulaby Lake in his retirement. He was a pretty old man when I knew him as a child. I only knew him as Mr.Jackson and I believe he was from some city in Iowa. He built a log home on the lake and a small go cart racing track for his mentally challenged cousin who came to live him after his previous caretaker had died. I had the opportunity of helping build the race track after I and some of my cousins vandalized one of his other shacks.. Mr. Jackson told me that I had to speak to my father and then he wanted to see me and my dad the following day. When my father was in the outhouse later than day, in the evening, I knocked on the door and confessed what I had done.
