I go fishing, hunting, camping and sometimes just exploring and I take some pictures. But I don’t always take knife pictures, so I’m trying to rectify that. I’m currently in Eastern Montana visiting Grandad. My daughter and I did some poking around near Ft Peck, our old hunting grounds today and I snapped a few photos with my 66.

This is looking back towards the dam.

This next one is the spillway.

This is overlooking the Missouri River close to where the Milk River dumps into it. Spent a lot of time chasing whitetail deer down there the last 25 years.

We went into the interpretive center at Ft Peck and saw this homemade knife a worker on the dam made back in the 30’s.

And finally...look at the wild animals he had to fend off with that knife!!! That’s when men were men....

But it is some pretty neat country if you ever have an opportunity to visit.

We head back tomorrow but are hitting a ghost town, so more to follow...
 
Good idea 315 315 .......we all do :thumbsup:

Will dig up some of my travel ones if I can find ‘em, though my Africa trips are often with knives that do not fall into the traditional description - so I’ll have to change that ;)

My grandfather was a homesteader who lost his place to the Ft Peck Dam. He could do more with less than anybody I ever met.

. I can only imagine the lives that have been turned upside down by the government, any government, for the so-called benefit of the masses. People were definitely self sufficient back then, out of necessity just to be able to provide a life for their family’s. My other Grandfather lost a farm when the State decided to put a new road right through his house. The bank or the State didn’t much care.
 
That ghost town looks like it might have been used in a few western movies. It looks familiar to me.

Jeff, I did a little poking around on the internet. It looks like maybe a video or a short movie but nothing I recognized.
 
I think the movie that it reminded me of was The Big Country, with Gregory Peck and Burl Ives.
