Beautiful! We lived 10 yrs in Bothell so I like seeing your great photos and I envy your ability to backpack. Nice fish!

Denton Farm Park, Denton, NC. Annual Threshers 50th Reunion, July 2020.

This is a 5 day event which has a large camping area for campers which attracts people from various states who show their tractors, steam engines, hit & miss engines, and engage in the tractor pulls. They have food vendors, a flea market area, a stage with assorted bands that play during the day, a train that travels the perimeter with an "old west" show, various demonstrations of both steam and horse powered farm equipment, a steam powered machine shop, a building housing a number of live steam powered engines used in industry, historic buildings, and more.

My second year here. Last year was really packed and had more equipment on display, but the turnout was still good in spite of the virus. I went 2-days. They had the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard on display and you could walk right up and take a look and get a picture. I enjoyed the demonstration of the stem shovel and steam crane - both fully operational and built about 1910.

Just a few of the pics I took, but I got a ton of them. Tractors of all makes and years from lawn tractors to the big farm tractors - steam, gas, kerosene, and diesel. These guys put as much effort into restoring their tractors as we do our cars. I'll be there again next year.

Denton Farm Park is a really cool place. Privately owned.
Its amazing to me the extent he went in building the place and providing all the camping provisions with electrical hook-ups and all in shaded areas. Bath houses, etc ...

It's only used a few times a year that i know of.
For a long time it was just for the Threshers

They do an Antique Motorcycle event, and Christian Outreach event.

I used to do lots of hiking and backpacking before my knees out, literally. So I enjoyed your photos. How many days where you guys (and dog) out there?

7 days, 6 nights. A good portion of it off-trail. Alpine Lakes Wilderness area, one of my favorite places on Earth. My old skier knees are rebelling against this kind of thing now, but I'm going to keep doing it 'til I simply can't any more.

The Pics don't do it justice. It was breathtaking! I thought they were cool nonetheless.

There was a song about Red Skies in the 90's
Never knew they were talking about something real.
