How fun is that?! I thought you might have spotted it somewhere on a trip sometime. You have a good eye, I was trying to make a mullein out of it. LOL! Thank you again for the effort and info!
Vicki, IKR! When several people told me they had no idea what it was, I started to get excited. The info about it today confirms, it was a great and apparently rare sight. I even told DH that I take back what I said about his "bumpy shortcut." LOL! We could have stayed on paved roads, but a longer route to his brother's house.
