Michihunter Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I live within 5 minutes of one of the greatest Walleye and Muskie fisheries in the world. One of the few places in the US of A where you actually travel south to get to Canada. Here's a pic of the Detroit skyline: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_Spike_King Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Here is a pic that my Dad took from his yard. The mountain is where I have spent a LOT of time and have seen some great things the good Lord has givin us. Now the next pic is a reverse of this pic. As you can see we live in the valley and spend lots of time in the mountains. I wish I was a good arrow head finder as we had Indians living in this area and they say there are arrow heads in the ground but I have never found any.

Too bad I had to give it away when I moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I remember the floods in Alton:( I got a nice aerator from the JD dealer there, never saw any dealer carry one similar. Too bad I had to give it away when I moved. 1993 was quite the year for flooding along the Mississippi! I was in the IL National Guard at that time and spent all summer vaccinating soldiers and sandbagging in 90-100 degree humidity. I took some really good pictures of the devistation from a helicopter. I think they are still at my parents house? I'll have to ask my mom if she's seen them. Flooding is common around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I grew up within shouting distance of the Ingersoll Rand plant that used these locomotives for switching rail cars. The one on the left was built in 1926 worked through 1977. The paint scheme was in honor of the 1976 bi-centennial. It was retired to a museum in Union, Illinois in 1984. It was developed by three manufacturers, American Locomotive Co, General Electric, and Ingersoll-Rand. They came together under agreement to build the first production run of Diesel powered railroad engines in North America. I cannot find the history of the locomotive to the right, but it is a GE locomotive. The company (IR) known world wide was the largest employer in town. You could say the town was built around it. One of the heavy hitters of the industrial era so soon to be part of the rust belt..... Edited January 4, 2009 by ruttinbuc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
