Looks like fun! ?????ÿ
Cute.
I was at a GIS conference and they were posting photos from around the region and asked anyone who recognized where they were shout it out.
First photo was an ortho of Shiprock.
I shout out Ship rock!
Next photo is an oblique of el capitan so again I shout out The Captain!
People are murmuring.
New photo pops up and I shout out "That's my house!"
Someone says "?ÿ Cmon that's impossible...."
I walk up point out the ditch I dug and the rocks I had moved and showed them my truck with me in front of it...... I seemed like a genius until the next photo....
It was some farm field out in Kansas and I'm silent as a church mouse.
Smarty pants pipes up "So where's this at?"
" I'm letting someone else take a try."......
And the meeting moved on.....
Do they have a senior division?
That was what I call the Tredway Place.?ÿ Hasn't had a Tredway living on it in 60 years, though.?ÿ Grace was the last one. ???? ???? ?????ÿ
The new crew working with our rural water district are beginning to learn the names of such places.?ÿ When the district formed in the early 1960's the operators and the board members tended to refer to places by either the current resident or the last family to live in a then abandoned house.?ÿ Bob Kusel lived there in 1963, so that's the Bob Kusel water valve location.
We have a major farming operation that has easily purchased a few hundred farms over the past 45 years over four counties.?ÿ Each farm is officially known to the employees by whatever the seller's name was, sometimes requiring both first and last name as there is more than one O'Brien Place, for example.?ÿ The cowboy crew will load up their horses and related gear and take off to spend the day working cattle on the Hammans Place.?ÿ Learning the names is mandatory.
