a few photos from T18N

All I can say is; WOW!

Thanks again for sharing....:clap:

In my little corner of the world, T18N would be running across the middle of Nebraska. That absolutely, positively, in no way looks like the middle of Nebraska.

What a beautiful Grayling in that last photo! I've always been fascinated by them.

In my little corner, it's just north of Mount Rainier; some parts look similar....if it's not cloudy and raining...;-)

So how much do you have to pay to work there? B-)

Daryl,

Always love your photos. My son is currently working at the Nixon Fork mine near McGrath and is telling me to meet him up one day when he is off between shifts. Your photos are doing the trick.

Great stuff, as always

Nice. I did a control survey from a helo once, but it was in Walnut, CA LOL You picked a much better location.

And you get paid to do that??

Is that Bear Spray on the left side of the Instrument Console?

:good:

That's an interesting looking piece of surveying equipment wrapped around your knee. 😉

I was going to ask if that fish was a grayling - beautiful!
thanks for sharing those pics - a nice vicarious adventure.

Awesome pics

Those pics really show why your survey vehicle is often a helicopter.

Beautiful scenery.

Thanks for posting.

That is the new T-1000 enhanced mobility exoskeleton...
...I only have three of your standard four ligaments holding my leg on... So I use that Forrest Gump contraption as a precaution on the steep...

Thanks for checking em out...I took video of the climb through the box canyon and up over the spires... Bandwidth is far to slow for me to post it at the moment....but what a ride...I kept willing the machine to aim for the center of the saddles but the Pilot liked to place the machine close to "the wall" to catch any updrafts.... felt like a little insignificant knat out there

Second thought on that. Both could be quite appropriate.

I know the problem in a different incarnation. I still have some knee wraps for a little extra support. Back in 1970 my knee flipped out on me twice in one day and both times I tumbled downhill into a prickly pear cacti patch. I went to the local doctor (A GP in Sydney, MT) the next day and got a check up and a knee brace.
