Credit for this collection of 130,000 used tires goes to my dad Rodgey, who collected them from 1979 to 1982. He was paid $100 a dumptruck load to get rid of them for local tire shops. Soon, they became his retirement plan. The exacts of this plan I never quite figured out, but I know it included selling the tires to pavers.
Growing up these tires served as a playground/fort-building material for my brothers and I. I truly miss them. In 2005 th DNR removed them, after over a year of fining Rodgey $100 a day for contempt of court, due to his refusal to go to court.
