Looks pretty bleak. Took hardy folks.

I have been inside the one crude dugout a couple of times. Nothing as nice as what is pictured. There are quite a few dugouts that still survive on the plains but most are on private property & not accessible to the public.

I have been in this missile silo, now 13 levels underground of survival condos plus a pool. The developer has now developed a second one.

A more modern version. This is what "hat guys" did for entertainment before the Fedora Lounge. (The two guys without hats were newbies...)

Those boys are surely up to something there.

Knowing very little about John Deere tractors, I'm wondering why the axle shaft is sticking way out of the right rear wheel. Perhaps they could be made into duallies?

It's for adjusting the rear wheel spacing (to accommodate variance in centering the implements of different sizes, brands, etc. and for the row width desired). The goal is to plow in a straight line... :)
