carried these 2 today as we went from Alexandria , Minn. to Dickinson , N. Dakota . I am using old photos .



I have promised some of you to try to post Pics of The Day while on our trip . We do not have vacations , we have trips remember .
First stop in N. Dakota was to see one of our , and yours , very good friend paulhilborn paulhilborn . It was really great to see him again and we had a decent , but too short , visit .

He had in the past posted a picture of a very long Railroad High Bridge and I wanted to see it .

During the drive we saw some cloud formations like I have never seen before .

We noticed that quite a few of the farmers were very proud of their old Thrash Machines , which were out-dated with the advent of Combines . They seemed to like to put them out by I-94 .

This is a Snow Blower headed to Idaho .

A rest stop east of Mandan , N. Dakota commemorating the only oil refinery in N. Dakota.

Suzy the Fiberglass Cow

Exit 72 on I-94 to Gladstone , N. Dakota goes to the Enchanted Highway . Someone has made some Giant Metal Sculptures .


This is what some of N. Dakota looks like . But to me , the picture is still missing so very much like , Sunflower , Soybeans , Wheat , Hay , Corn , and Sugar Beet fields.

Well said my friend! ;) I know the time was short but it was most surely a great visit! That is a beautiful Stag you posted Paul. I know Harry will be jealous of that one! :D
 
I elected not to bring the 66 Calf Roper and instead brought along this Case from the Neverending GAW. Both knives have been with me but I have been too distracted by scenery and forget to take photos of the knives, so here they are in the hotel tonight.

Talking of Kabars, here's SOG's 1980's version of the USN Mk1 - The Government (lighting isn't very good in my kitchen right now I'm afraid) :thumbsup:

I always liked that particular model of SOG. A shame really that their quality has diminished so dramatically in these later years.


I was only carrying the Lambsfoot today until the new #14 arrived, then that one joined.

Cool knife! :cool::thumbsup: I’m always partial to a nice drop point. What sort of pattern is that? Who’s the maker? Thanks for showing it.

I do not not know either of those, but am seeking information now elsewhere on BF. Anyone on the Porch have an opinion?

Two 1965-69 Case knives. 63047 Pretty Bone Stockman with California Clip and Stag Texas Jack. My Case knives have overtaken my GEC’s in numbers and pocket time!

Yep, that's my experience, too. Gorgeous knives, Leslie.

This IS what this thread is all about, I think. Thanks for sharing. We can use more of this fellowship. Well, I can

Thanks, Harry. We have a great country and you (and many others) make it more accessible with your shared experiences. God bless America (and all of our friends on the Porch, Americans or not. A stranger's just a friend whom you haven't met yet.)

Thanks. It will be a more prosaic BB Winchester, but I'll post it and proudly tote it.
