yes, looks like a list or inventory.
LOL! And future generations of FReepers will be trying to work out what it means.
The message reads:
“We are having a helluva kegger, but we need more beer and pizza...”
You are probably right. It is amazing to go up on the mountain and look at all the stuff that was left many years ago by Civil War soldiers, and others.
