Since we were traveling to Wyoming, to visit Kath and Daryl, DH wanted to make a circle and head into Bridgeport, Nebraska, to go shopping.
Have you EVER seen so many old tractors and parts?
These little jaunts to ‘buy parts’ always amaze me.
And he found what he needed!

I saw your comments over on Mountain Woman’s site and I couldn’t believe you guys are seeing early signs of fall, too. I trust nature far more than the weatherman. Wonder what’s coming……

You know when I think shopping Bridgeport, Nebraska always comes to mind. LOL! But seriously, that is an awesome display of tractor carcasses. Hope Terry found what he was shopping for.

Hi, found you via Mikey’s blogroll. I know the exact place you were just at. It’s amazing isn’t it?
I live in SD on the family ranch, at least for the next couple of weeks and then will be heading to GJ. My Honey lives there. I’m going to miss the ranch, but move nowhere without my horses. At least I always have a bit of home with me that way.:)
In just the few years that I have been traveling back and forth, it is very sad to see all of the open spaces around GJ being turned into subdivisions. It was the same way in AZ. Thankfully, our ranch is located in such a rural part of SD that no on is interested in moving here! This area hasn’t changed much in a couple of generations…and I hope it never does.

It looks like a tractor graveyard, but glad he found what he wanted.

Not being involved with agriculture (except on the eating end) I never would have thought of a tractor bone yard. But since I know they have aircraft bone yards, why not? So tell us, was it something small you could take with you on your trip, or did it get shipped?

Hello, I have popped onto your blog from time to time over the past couple months or so. You see, I happen to have been researching ways to help my son with his asthma/allergies and I’ve read some research reports written by medical scientists who say that sojourns to high altitude locations can sometimes be helpful. I’ve cross-referenced high-altitude locations in USA against locations said to have clean air according to the American Lung Association and I come up with parts of
Colorado as being a worthwhile destination to try taking my son. Hence my web surfing of all things Colorado, particularly “farm life in Colorado” since farming activities are also shown in the medical research to be protective against asthma. I appreciate your blog – you’ve done a beautiful job with it & great photos too.
I would like to ask a couple questions if you don’t mind.
1) I note that you mention that you lived in a part of CO when you were 11-14 years old due to your health. Can you elaborate on what your health condition was, and where you moved from, and how your parents decided that would be a good location to move to for you? Did it help?
2) Is there an email address that I could possibly correspond with you a bit? I’m planning on taking my family to CO very soon, possibly next week, for a visit, to see if it would help my son and if it looks like a place we might ever want to live.
Thanks, Mark!
