Couch Killing

How to kill a couple of couches with a forklift. I would have just run them over, but didn't want to chance some wood going through a $2000 tire.

Old Upland Courthouse ruins / Upton County Texas / Ghost Town

The original courthouse of Upton County Texas, known as Upland around 1911, which is 11 miles north of Rankin Texas, and sits a couple miles west of Hwy 349. Approx 1 mile east of the old courthouse sits a few old graves as well, with tombstones. The railroad came to the south, so they abandoned the town known as Upland. Prior to our visit on this video on 11-15-2009, the old jail had been bulldozed into a hole, and covered up. A little bit more info can be found here: texasescapes.com...
