I believe my grandpappy shoveled coal into the furnace when he was a pup. He used to sit me on his knee and tell me tales about killing Indians and shipping borax cakes north to the Mormons. He claimed he had an affair with a chink laundry woman near Reno. But you know how old people tend to exaggerate. I’d go with the 1880 Borax or Silver mining ops in Nevada.

Now, what's your excuse for rummaging through the garbage? I dunno, Jon, it kind of looks like the Thunder Mountain ride at Disney World.

A steam tractor pulling loads from the desert back to the processing plant. Anyone have a better guess? Once I get it developed it might be easy to figure out.

There are a few portraits from turn of 19th century that were big as well. I havent tried with this one, but I was able to peel the firm acetate away from the tissue paper thin negative without tearing it, so I think I will be able to get this one printed without those lines in it. Send me your address and I'll mail you a few to play with.
