Sidetracked II or, A Trip to the Graveyard

Sidetracked...

Now before any of you that may have an inner Shaggy go "G-g-graveyard !?  ZOINKS !!"  Don't worry.  The graveyard I visited today was not that kind of graveyard. ;)

It started when I was walking Bear this morning.  I got to talking to a neighbor, and he asked if I was going to the "airshow".  I didn't even know that there was one going on, but I thought, eh, I could get some pics to post on Gather. 

So, I headed out.  Why I took the route I did, all the way down our street to the crosstreet and down it, I do not know.  When I was half way down the road I thought, "Duh, the airport is right behind my house !"  I wasn't sure if there was a way to get "in" that way though....so....

Well, when I reached the road that "offically" led into the airport, I still wasn't sure how to get to the part where they were having the "airshow" so I thought at first I'd turn around and go home.  Then I had another thought.

A while back ago, I think it was Greg Schiller who posted a photo essay of a bunch of old vehichles, and I mentioned that we had an old "vehicle/farm equipment graveyard" near the house.  He said he'd like to see it.  I think that conversation was sometime last year....;(

So, I headed on down the road--which turned out, in the end, to be another couple of miles.  Along the way I took random shots of things, like planes, etc. going over.

Looking down a side road to someone's property.

First glimpse of the "graveyard"--some nondescript old farm equipment (pic looks better in the larger version).

Further down the road, and more of the graveyard.  A...backhoe?

A tractor the fashoinable color of rust.

Still going down the main road--a silo or something along those lines....

I wound up snapping about 62 pics on my little stroll--some sort of random. :)  I will try to share more, soon. :)
