Not taken on Sunday, but a day of work-appropriate fondling.

Hundreds of 50+ year old maps and surveying/photogrammetry equipment from the World War 2 era.

Working for the Forest Service, at one point we had to move to a new office. The problem was that we had a 5000+ sq. ft. warehouse full of surveying and engineering stuff that had piled up from day one. Where we were moving had very little storage space for us to use so I was put in charge of cleaning out the old warehouse. Man, there was some great old obsolete equipment in there. Most in pristine condition. It all had to be auctioned off but a lot of the good stuff seemed to grow legs and walk out when nobody was looking. I was tempted myself, but I guess I am just too chicken.

Then a few years later I had major surgery and had to be on light duty for five months. I was tasked with digitizing all the old survey records from two national forests and loading it into a GIS database. I got lost for hours sometimes reading through all those old notes and records. getting hands on some real history is so much more fun than reading someone else's summarized version of history

Mild spring with a little rain makes quite a difference...

The "rock". I had to build our road over this rock in 1984. There wasn't any practical alternatives. It's now one of the best squirrel shooting places we have. I haven't measured it but I'd say it's 35+ feet above the creek

It was good time, the PBR is an expensive weekend, but then again it’s a once a year event. What made this weekend special Montana native and legendary PBR rodeo clown Flint Rasmussen came out of retirement and did entertainment , which made it extra special.

Bulls definitely draw a large number of folks who don’t generally like traditional rodeo. Then add lots of fireworks and loud classic rock music it a show
