Inscription. There is a mysterious force that drives people to new lands and new frontiers. There is an abiding love for the land and newly turned soil, for young livestock and for the freedom of ownership, for the independence of spirit. This marker will remain to honor those people who first came, those who left, those who stayed and those who returned. Fence Lake, you will someday fade away. Until then, this serves as a remembrance of the heart, soul and spirit of those who passed this way.
