FTA Side Trip - Homestead Museum - White17 #8444822 07/29/25 10:56 AM 07/29/25 10:56 AM

On the way home, we took a little detour to check out a museum -- The Homestead National Historical Park. I'd heard a rumor that there was an exhibit there in honor of one of our very own Tman admins, and since it wasn't too far out of our way, we thought we'd swing by and check it out. For those that don't know, white17...aka Ken Deardorff, was the very last American to be granted a deed to a homestead under the Homestead Act of 1862. The Homestead Monument in Beatrice Nebraska has an exhibit commemorating it. When you walk into the main entrance, the first thing you see is Ken's old Allis-Chalmers tractor. They actually airlifted it out of the Alaskan wilderness with a helicopter. They even have the tractor on a t-shirt they're selling in the gift shop. The rest of Ken's exhibit is in the museum portion of the building, along with other exhibits. There isn't really much need for commentary, as I think the pics will tell the story. If you have any questions and ask nicely, Ken may even answer them. Proudly banned from the NTA. Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

So anyways, just thought I would share with y'all (OK, so maybe Paul kinda twisted my arm to make this post ) But it was pretty cool to see all the exhibits there, ranging from the first homesteaders, to the last, and especially cool because the last one was one of our own Tman administrators. Proudly banned from the NTA. Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

Another was driving my bulldozer cross country for a week in February to get it to my homestead from the old DEW line site where it was flown in to. That was a neat little trip.

white17 "General (Mr.Sunshine) Washington" W Joined: Mar 2007 McGrath, AK	Well It was pretty much like any other road trip I guess. That old wheel tractor just wasn't up to the task so I bought an old International T340 dozer. There was an old air force radar site about 70 miles from my cabin. I had the dozer flown in there in an even older C-119 Flying Boxcar. I drove it from there cross country to my cabin. Took 7 or 8 days breaking my own trail and just camping wherever darkness caught up with me. Some of the crick crossings kinda got my blood pumping as did one large lake. Crossing that lake I put the thing in 3rd gear and set the throttle......and then jumped off. It was about a mile across the lake. I snowshoed along behind. When the blade hit the bank on the other side it killed the engine. Worked like a charm. I wasn't wild about the idea of riding that thing to the bottom of that lake. Pretty handy thing to have when making a camp in the evening. Drop the blade and make a flat spot....drag in some dead logs for a fire and I had a cozy camp. Mean As Nails

The story you posted here many years ago about the inside passage along the west coast was fantastic. I remember printing it out and reading it to my family who also enjoyed it. If I recall correctly, years later I urged you to post it here once again and you did. Based on that one story, I can tell that you have an excellent writing style and any book you might want to publish would be at the top of my “to buy” list. Eh...wot?

She and I are in touch occasionally. She was a nurse at the same field hospital where I was a patient, but we did not overlap in the same time frame. We just discovered each other in the last 18 months Mean As Nails

Just kidding. Pretty dang cool! LOL! The first thing I thought when I walked in there was my God, I know white's older than dirt, but this tractor looks even older than that. Proudly banned from the NTA. Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.
