unique landscape behind it.\u00a0 He&#8217;d been roaming and had no specific idea where he took the photo, so I thought I&#8217;d go hunting.\u00a0 I knew which county it was in and a general orientation, so I did some research on Google Earth and headed out.\u00a0 I caught a few surprises along the way, including some vehicles &#8211; which I&#8217;ll focus on here (pun intended).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/2017\/09\/cars_dji_0366-70_hdr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

all the NODAPL jackholes roaming Morton County last year and the increased fire danger this year.\u00a0 Today was a beautiful day, I called and got permission, and the rest is
