Glacier National Park?  :confused:

The last one is a National Park, but not Glacier.  Think Rich Cronk.

I think it's the badlands as well. Been through the badlands and if that isn't it, then I don't have a clue.  :yoyo:

Ok, the first one, how bout from an overlook on I 680 just east of I 29 ??  :biggrin:
The second pic, hafta go with somewhere in western Nebraska, by Sidney ?
The last one, still gotta be the Badlands.
Title: Re: Where is Hawk
Post by: Bopeye on August 30, 2009, 03:36:28 PM
The second one could be by Sidney Nebraska, but I've seen Milo fields like that all over Nebraksa and Kansas. There's a huge Milo field right next to the Geographical Center of the lower 48 in Kansas.  :wink:

iahntr seems to know the southwest part of his state.  At least the overlook on I-680 just east of I-29 that is where picture #1 was taken.

#2 is I-90 around Mitchell, SD

#3 was WAY to easy since most got it right - Badlands

No quiz this time, but a couple of pictures from today.

Goodness gracious, those pronghorn sure can make a fella homesick for the prairie again. You are in South Dakota, Wyoming, Western Nebraska or Montana right now.
My best guess is Wyoming.  :wink:

Sorry Bop,

I am going to wait for Yellowstone to be fumigated before I visit.  It should be done by the time I get there.  There will be some pictures from today when I get back from supper.  All that stalking for Big Game made me hungry.

Well, here is an easy question to see where I was today.  This is the hotel that I had planned to spend the night in.  When we got there we found that it had closed.  Where is it?

Thunder Jack.  This was really neat to see, cast in bronze, and very well done.  You can read about the statue on the plaque that was below the statue.

Well it has been a couple of days and I am sorry about that, but I have not had an internet connection until tonight.  Our room in Glacier had electricity and running water, but no internet, TV, or radio.  It was really relaxing to sit there and look out our window or sit on the porch and enjoy a drink after a long day touring.  This will no doubt case dial up systems to crash, but here it goes.

The welcoming committee to Glacier.  Seems that the edge of the roads are a good place to graze your cattle.  Not behind the fence, but between the fence on one side of the road and the fence on the other side of the road.

This is the view from the porch right outside our door.

This was shot at dark and from quite a ways off, but if you look at the right hand side of the picture you will see the bull that owns the herd.  Shortly after this picture a smaller bull came in to introduce himself and left VERY quickly.

Cameron Lake in Alberta.  It has water that is extremely blue.  It also has Griz warnings.

This is a picture of Wild Goose Island that is just a great place to take pictures.  There was a storm coming and light rain falling when I took this one.

Hidden Lake is found after an hour and a half hike from the information center at Logan’s Pass.  It seemed much shorter 20 years ago.

It is always interesting to look at Indian culture and ways of living.

Oh my gawd, that picture of Goose island is breath taking Jerry. :biggrin:

Beautiful pictures Jerry!  Keep them coming.  You should have had your picture taken with "Thunder Jack".  Could have called it "Thunder Hawk"..."-Retired Principal turned Call Maker and Adventurer"  A true Internet Explorer that opened the gateway to the West for a lot of those longing to be there...Keep up the great work!  And have a wonderful trip!

Well, it is time for a few more pictures.  These were shot in Yellowstone late this afternoon and evening.

What is this insect?  It looked somewhat like a cricket, but it is HUGE.  Probably twice as long as an Ohio cricket and a little larger than my thumb.

This is what has moved into town.  There was one bull and 63 cows and calves.  What a difficult job â€" servicing that many cows.

For my Ohio friends that have not been out west, these Ravens are more than twice the size of our crows.  No wonder the hunters out here can shoot them at this size.

Can you find the animal in this picture?  There were two, one laying down and this one who was standing.  I couldn’t get very close â€" sorry.

This Big Guy was walking along the road and I got a shot.


Guests are not allowed to view images in posts, please Register or Login

Then a few miles later this one was on the road.  It was fun to drive up beside him and hit him with a flash picture.  One foot on the brake, one on the gas in case he turns, and two hands on the camera.

No idea what the bug is and he looks like he has an attitude.  Don't all males down south service that many females?  Cool pics of the Bison and keeping a foot on the gas was good thinking. :yoyo:
