Old Oak Cliff Dump In Dallas

Thank you for that revelation, Texas Digger. My guess-timations were based on this tyro's gleanings from the books and what I found: two blob tops and a pontil. Some folks hang onto things and finally toss them. That Adams Branch creek empties into Five Mile Creek that surely tucks the heavy...
