The rifle is a 7mm mag.


I don't think I can tell my best adventure story on here but one of the very best was being present when my daughter was born. That was pretty amazing. 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.

Looks like Drifter and Yotetrapper got the nickle tour.

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.

Well I guess a guy learns something every day. While I was aware that Ken homesteaded his place I thought it was during the Oklahoma land grab..........

To everyone that said thanks.... you're welcome.

No one mentioned the dog sled, which I believe Ken made himself!

Ken, your bulldozer story is cool.... but tell us a trapping story!!
