I took that first of October last year when I was in Atchison. I am sitting on the bank of the Missouri River. Behind Mueller's.

Oh hell, that's the swing bridge in the foreground. We have a very similar one here that is now a historical landmark.

Thank you for the last picture of the Amelia Earhart Bridge...I grew up in Atchison Kansas. I never remembered it looking like that though.

That looks nice because they had to rebuild the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay. Here's what happened to the original in 1980 when a freighter hit the bridge and 35 people died.

I'll be damned, it sure enough has been replaced. Old one was cantilever style.

I'm standing at the very back of my yard. My house in the center... and a LOT of sky.

One of my 13 apple trees currently in bloom.

That's a big yard.

I have a Gravely ZT HD with a 60 inch deck to handle the vast majority of the yard. The rest I have a neighbor who comes to get hay for his cows. He gets roughly 3 bales for him and one for me. It takes me about 3 hours to mow it including a path all the way around the property.

I plan on planting about 100 trees in the area that is currently being hayed and making it something of a forest with a clearing in the center to camp during the summer and set up a corn feeder in the winter.

Arial view... follow the stripe on the right sid eof time image and that is where my property ends. You can clearly see the mowed vs un-mowed areas.

Nice place, I'd love to have something like that. Let me know when you die of the 'rona so I can buy it. Or you could just will it to me.
