Hallock, MN
This is the homestead of my grandparents, we used to call my grandpa, Boompa, so hence the name. The house is now abandoned and has been condemned because it is located in a flood zone. "Boompa" had an auto body repair shop in the garage and did lots of fishing in the river, as well as ice fishing. I have many fond memories of this house and surrounding property, it is very sad to see the failing condition of the house. My Grandmother died in 1984 and Boompa died in 1988. The property is still privately owned and permission has been granted by family members who live in town. The caretaker of this property is Bobby Anderson.

This is our first visit to Hallock. It seems to be a nice little town and not dying like Lake Bronson where we're staying with friends.

Thanks for the cache.

Search for at least 15 minutes. Sorry for the grandparents, this seems a nice place to live. TFTC!
