Looks like a most memorable locale for some great fireworks and a good hot dog. A rousing parade no doubt!

Sir,
I believe that the picture which you quote as saying you don't know what it is, is a McCormick-Deering Baler.

El Dub--
I sure hope that was just a typo.  There aint no such thing as "a good hot dog" unless one eats at least TWO more.

You're thinking of bean consumers, not growers.

I've been told it's a thresher. I'll find out for sure.
I find big old farm equipment fascinating..as long as somebody else is using it.
Most of the tractors in the parade are used every day.
No high tone collectors in this neighborhood.

And Bayfield's got twice the population of Dove Creek.

And half of the participants at the Dove Creek parade were actually going to the Implement for repairs...

I think that was Entry #42. If not, it should’ve been.
That looks like my kind of place. I have family in Denver; I’m going to have to check out Dove Creek…
