CAT is looking south and you are taking pic to the north. Now that is an office with a heck of a view. Love it. Thanks for posting, John
Now that I went back and read again, cat is facing east, mt hood is to the west.. oohh man .......
The Cat looks sorta familiar. Are you somewhere up around Dufur? Have I seen the rig from the state highway? I've seen your great pictures times before, just never got around to asking. I live just over the ridge from you but never get tired of looking at our mountains, or Cats! Your pics are always welcome. Thanks.

Yup, about 10 miles east of Dufur.......which ridge are we talking about????
The big one--east fork of the Cascades! I'm in Hood River County. Ten miles east of Dufur, that's not the one I'm thinking I may have seen. I get up that way every now and then, drove around a lot with my dad when he was alive. We probably were near there at some time.

Really neat pics 98J. If you are planting 100 lbs per acre it looks like one would spend as much time filling the drill boxes as one does drilling. 😉
Here in the wastelands of NW KS we usually drill 60 to 70 pounds per acre. A lot of JD hoe drills used here and each 10 ft section holds a little under 30 bu. (1800 lb) Even with that capacity, it seems one is always needing to refill. My rich neighbor got a 40' JD air drill and a 250 bu tank!! He can drill all day with one filling!!
Keep the pictures coming!!
