- It was a cute town.
-
- They all are lined up approaching me… a bit scary. They were curious of me.
-
- I think it was close to St. Anthony, ID
-
- Who invented this device?
-
- I believe it was in Nevada. Turkey Vulture was everywhere along the road.
-
- A park ranger was there to prevent us from going closer to them. Bisons are temperamental.
-
- It was unbelievably picturesque.
-
- Yellowstone National Park – there were too many people around this basin…
-
- Off the highway 94
-
- Nelson-Trevino Bottoms State Natural Area
-
- It’s in Wisconsin in the middle of soy bean field. I could not get into the site.
-
- This is a real nuclear power plant I could not get in. The security was REALLY tight.
-
- I thought this place was a power plant.
