Elevations (GPS) on the ranch range from 2,316 feet to 5,199 feet. At one location you can hike a straight mile with a lo-hi-low-hi profile for a total elevation change of nearly 10,000 feet. feet. The bulk of the ranch is on high ground just north of the Colorado line -- the "south divide." That high ground is broken by a deep erosion channel, Sidney Draw, which has n-s running erosion channels and small canyons branching off. We're anything but flat, but 2d images don't represent the topography well.PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-22499853561116307012015-04-23T19:03:56.475-06:002015-04-23T19:03:56.475-06:00Thanks Sarge.Thanks Sarge.PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-51913631993944122852015-04-23T14:32:46.627-06:002015-04-23T14:32:46.627-06:00OK, to change the subject a little, In the middle...OK, to change the subject a little, In the middle video, is that an actual "hill" I see on the left there?

We were sitting in the lounge on formal night when a couple walks in and She's in Army Dress Blues. There was no place to sit, so I invited them to sit with us. Exchanged the usual pleasantries and I asked her which branch she was. She said Nurses Corps. I asked her when she'd last been to Trashcanistan. She said "Last week". I asked what she did as a Nurse. She said Trauma Center. I asked how the tour had gone. She said something that almost knocked me to the floor. "OK, I guess. Everybody who came in to our surgery alive, left alive." I damn near lost it. How much more of an impact can a person have than to save the life of another? You've done that.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-53015280421218868122015-04-22T17:41:01.840-06:002015-04-22T17:41:01.840-06:00Ah, good point Juvat and I appreciate it.
