Photo Extras - Flying T Ranch

If you stopped by during Theme Day, which occurs on the first day of every month, I had posted a photo of a very weathered gate with an attached fence. I mentioned I would post more photos of the area as it was quite a unique place. The ranch is located in Nevada and is on private land. We had stopped for lunch at the ranch during a tour of a gold mine.

Theme Day: Mystery Object

Well, I'm not 100% sure what this is or used for, but I would guess it is for measuring how far the mountains have moved? This mystery object is located in Nevada on the Ruby Mountains. We saw it and figured it was some geological survey marker, but in all reality, I have no idea what it is.

One Big Crane

Nope, this photo was not taken in the Twin Cities. I just had to post this photo of my brother-in-law, John, who works at the Barrick Goldstrike mine out in Nevada. The trucks are massive as you can see. He's loading a bucket into a 320 ton truck. Then it's off to be processed looking for gold.
