Look what I found...

On my way back from Casper on Saturday, I spotted this along the highway out in the vast expanse of nothingness between Casper and Shoshone. It's a chunk of the wall out of an old boxcar. It's sitting along a railroad siding right by where an old loadout facility used to stand, but was torn down several years ago... The date on the bottom says that it was built in 2 of 41.

I did it!

I survived the PE Exam! 80 questions in 8 hours... Now I have to wait 12 weeks to see how I did, or so says the NCEES.

There and Back Again

Yesterday I took a trip to Jackson for business. Luckily the Park is still open, and tourist season is over, so it was a quick trip as compared to what it could be.

It had been years since I was last in Yellowstone, so I did stop along the way at the geyser fields at West Thumb.
While I was at the Jackson Airport, I got a very rare opportunity to visit the control tower. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me take any pictures inside due to security concerns, but, I did get to go out on the catwalk and take some pictures from there.

40 feet up!
