A great deal of my medical practice was in isolated Ranching and logging country. One particular philosophy of all the cowboys i ever met, was they only wanted to work "a-horseback". They were purists, they didn't like working fence ("there's a crew for that"). This seems a reasonable method to switch to logging from cowboyin'.
On the other hand, a lot of two-tracks and trails that were open last summer are often closed in the spring with dead-fall, and limbs. Opening up the old road to Thunder-egg Lake was an annual chore. I used my quad.
That skidmark is proof that your mother was right: "Dear, wear clean underware in case you are chasing a perp and get stuck upside down on a fence with your BDU's ripped off and your tighty-whitey's on display for every passing tourist with an iPhone to post onto Instagram so that your buddies at the station will rip on you endlessly for the rest of your life and then some???"
Mom said that... right? That's sort of how I remember it.

Trust me when I tell you, NOBODY likes working fence...even the crew that's doing it. Growing up on a farm/ranch I hated fixing fence every spring, tumbleweeds would bock the fence, snow would drift heavy on the tumbleweeds and stretch the fence or push it down...any place the fence crosses a water way...just a miserable job, but being the owner's kid, there was no getting out of it.
First time I ever went to a HS party and got drunk (on a shit-ton of Vodka and OJ)... My parents got me up at 6 the next morning and I spent the day putting up fences through a fucking briar patch. In the sun. All Day.
Cured me of Vodka for life. Luckily, I later discovered beer. And by my Senior Year, Wine Coolers. Bartles and Jaynes were better leg spreaders than quaaludes. Not that we had any of those in the sticks.

Being how you're from the area I'm sure you know the story.

Most certainly different a time yet many of the old ways and the men that hold those ways dear can be found today in Oregon's big empty.
Too far north and not enough snow. IIRC the snow depth at Donner right now is in feet, not inches.
I was rewarded with tearing down an old one car garage for similar HS shenanigans...at a street dance, one of the neighbor ladies was counting how many beers I drank, apparently 28 is enough for a really bad hang over, and I had more before the dance ever started.
ETA: I had no idea how I got home, but I knew I didn't drive because I gave my keys up before the party.
Really bad road, even when dry and clear. I really disliked having to go from Klamath to Bend, on the rare occasion.
Certainly a remote area for sure.
Most of the major highways were closed today but now back open.
That section of "Vegas Traffic", holy hell that is the WORST stretch of road I've ever been on. The road itself isn't bad, but the people on it are FUCKING HORRIBLE!
Brightline is going to build the High Speed Train from Rancho Cucamonga to Las Vegas later this year and should be finished by 2027.
Construction to begin on bullet train connecting SoCal to Las Vegas
The Rancho Cucamonga station will connect to Metrolink’s regional rail network, which includes stations in Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties with Las Vegas over a 218-mile system.
Is it the same program that's "building" the bullet train north/south too?Brightline is going to build the High Speed Train from Rancho Cucamonga to Las Vegas later this year and should be finished by 2027.

That is why I try not to travel any farther South than I-80
I didn't have a choice, I was TDY to NTC Ft Irwin last fall...twice.
So what was your favorite part of Ft. Irwin. The Scorpions? The Rattlesnakes? Or the dust?
Meh, never been there. Asking for a friend.

I never made it out to the ranges at NTC, I was in NetOps doing configuration management stuff. If you've ever been to Yuma Proving Grounds, pretty much the same thing; I did go out to the ranges there in previous years doing the same stuff.
It's probably full of asbestos, and the .gov doesn't want to pay for the abatement, so they're willing to make it someone else's nightmare.
All of the above….I’ve been there twice it didn’t get better the second time…

Let out the clutch on this thing you better hope to God that everything it was hooked to was supposed to move.
My tinnitus changing pitch looking at this picture.
If you are talking about the California High Speed Rail than NO. They did build a high speed train in Florida.
Brightline Florida
The new trains linking Miami and Orlando are showing how great American trains can be.

They are trying... Kills someone pretty frequently. People around here are not used to 80mph trains running through population dense areas with tons of crossings.
Other problem being that it's not super cheap and then you have to figure out how to get from the train station to your final destination. Majority of Florida has very spotty public transportation and the distances between areas can be pretty big. So you basically have to Uber.
They have been working on a leg from south FL to Orlando for years now.
I'm "blessed" with supporting exercises and experiments at NTC, YPG and EPG...they are all about the same. I sleep in hotels when I go there though, so it could be worse. I did enough "camping" trips when I was active duty to other "garden spots", that were far worse.
And amazing trigger discipline by allSame nasty shoes but this time she has 2 feet on the ground when handling a gun.
A friend was out one morning checking and tagging the newborn calves. I guess one mother decided to headbutt him. His wife saw him laid out in the field and went to check on him. She said that he regained consciousness as she got to him. She said that he absolutely refused to go to the hospital without changing his underwear. He kept telling her that his mom would not be happy if he went to the hospital with dirty underwear. She said that he obviously had a concussion because his mom had been dead for thirty years. So she took him to the house and helped him change before going to the hospital.
Country Music Somehow Gets Worse
NASHVILLE, TN — Early reports from Nashville's CMT awards are confirming that against all odds, country music has managed to somehow get even worse.
