Mikes wanderings

There’s one of those cranes down the road here in Redmond. Biggest mobile crane I have ever seen!

So the wheels under the counterweight rotate too? Or rotate the tracks to be parallel to the wheels? Now you gave me something else to Google today.

The crane was a tracked unit, the counterweight super-structure was attached and slaved to it, and as the crane spun and then travelled, the counterweight just followed along on its wheels.

I was wondering what type of plant it was at ? A lot of weight

This is at a gas and oil battery and refinery. This is actually the start point of the big KInder Morgan pipeline to the coast of BC, from Alberta’s heartland.

Oil for the chicoms ? Looked like oil and gas. We have a bunch of that around the region here.

Those pictures are awesome the trails I dream about in the mountains. Unfortunately this was my urban wheeling adventure lately. Caution picture may be disturbing to many in here

Think the Mill I work in had an 850K to pick two digesters up. Came over seas and delivered beginning of this month. Hopefully it stays to install a new one. Pretty cool to watch it get assembled. Faster than I thought possible.

I hate Atlanta........

Watch what you say, some of us love it here .

I spent 6 of the best years of my life living in Midtown Atlanta (Georgia Tech, BCE '01)

Just to clarify, the traffic and the dirty birds

No worries.

Everyone hates the traffic and even Falcons fans hate the Falcons.

So, life got busy, out of control, etc, lots of away from home jobs, life changes, etc, and there was a year and a half or so span with no wheeling. This CJ picture is one I snapped out at ruby falls, in the winter. Couple different groups were in for a run. I’ll have to see if I can find the one Jeep they had with them.

I like old school. Jeeps mainly, but I enjoy wheeling with some Toyota guys too. The old 4runner fell thru the ice. Took us an hour or so to extract him without damage.

The 4Runner again, he’s now building a 49 power wagon, and Darcy out front with his LJ.
