[b]One of the springs that often is dry by this time of year- running a good stream out of the sidehill....[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/July30th-CommunityPasture046.jpg[/img] [b]One of the two waterholes/fishing holes I drive by going to either of the pastures....This was a good perch hole until someone stuck northerns in it....[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/July30th-CommunityPasture047.jpg[/img] [b]The other pond and Fish and Game camping spot...Both these holes are spring fed- and were created when they were dug out for gravel to build the old Glasgow AFB back in the 50's...[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/July30th-CommunityPasture048.jpg[/img] [b]Even got an "outhouse on the hill"- which is handy when I have the Grandkids with me while checking cows......Fish and Game stock this with trout.....[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/July30th-CommunityPasture050.jpg[/img] [b]Fifteen miles out in the middle of nowhere- and you run into the old Glasgow AFB which was closed in the 70's...It has one of the larger runways in the world- was used for B-52's thru the Vietnam period- and was once considered as an alternate landing strip for the space shuttle....Runway is now leased by Boeing for flighttesting...[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/July30th-CommunityPasture051.jpg[/img] [b]Housing at the old Base (now called Saint Marie)....100's and 100's of housing units sitting empty :( - with about 200 occupied- mostly by retired military folks- many of which spend a lot of time at the fishing holes...[/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dickbobb/July30th-CommunityPasture052.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
