Day 177: Elkhorn, /\/\onTana! Part 2…

As I was pulling out of the cemetery, this deer decided to walk across in front of me. A view of most of the remaining Elkhorn from up on the cemetery road.. Another view. From the “ford” across the stream, with another foundation of some sort. The stream itself. The first Doctor’s office and cabin […]

Day 176: Elkhorn, /\/\onTana! Part 1…

After my whole life living in /\/\onTana! I finally got to go up to Elkhorn, one of our more renowned mining ghost towns.  And it was for work! One the road up to Elkhorn, southeast of Boulder. Looking back across the valley. A few flowers by the road. A few more (taken with my 400mm […]

Day 95: By Special Request!

A request to see more of that fancy .45 handl’n! A hand covered rapid fire 7 rounds at 25 meters! Obviously a staged photo…taken from in front of the muzzle. Winter of 1983-84, I think…it only looks a bit like Stalingrad! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 92: Deutschland! c. 1983

Going way back, I found this photo taken after touring Schloss Heidelberg (Castle Heidelberg).  They had us all sit for a group photo, even though we weren’t a group.  The photo has 13 June 1983 written on the back.  I am in the back row, just right of center, wearing the Sundance Saloon tee shirt. […]

Day 55: A Foggy Morning in Kalispell

From a trip I made to Kalispell back in January.  Couldn’t even make out the sign without processing!  I put it in the corner. (1/403, f2.8, 12.8mm or 77 in 35mm equivalent, ISO 64, Nikon Coolpix L11) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 274: End of the Old Gang

Yesterday my partner Dave retired.  We have been working together since 1987.  There was Vance, Andy, Boots, Dave, and I, covering almost all of /\/\onTana! and some of Wyoming and Idaho, and anywhere else they sent us.  We made a pretty good crew. But they have all retired now, except for me.  A few more […]

Day 267: A Blast From The Past!

In 2004 I got to spend three fun filled weeks working in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  It was really a good trip.  On Sunday, the 11th of January, I drove to the top of Pikes Peak! As you can see, it really is a long way up.  It was work just to breathe. e(1/1000, f2.8, 5.7mm, […]
