The local that I was with called him a potato but he could be a bean. I'll try to blow it up and read the sign tomorrow. We passed two big potato chip plants and a bean plant near there.

Mu guess is that the sign will tell you about beans . . .

That bridge is awesome! Do you have the dimensions of it?

Pinto Mac Bean was erected in 1992. I stand corrected. The bridge was finished in 1909 and is 1624m long and 95m high. It cut a bunch of miles and grade and trestles of the original route. If you drive east and west through Lethbridge you can't miss it.

Still for sale. It is a long way from anywhere except your place. :wink: They do most of their town trips and shopping in Havre.

If you get that blown up and can read it..please post what it says...this Pinto MacBean could be a relative of mine. LOL :D
Photo bucket and I aren't good friends yet. It says Pinto Macbean welcomes you, as well as who paid for it, the artist and that it was erected in 1992.

Thanks for the trip.

I might want to be like you when I get big. The place would need an airstrip right off the bat.

in several of those pictures there are those jet trails thru the sky. i see those everywhere you go down here - what are they doing? here they criss cross the sky and i've seen them turn around and 180 back the other way several times throughout the day. there is a guy about 15 miles from here that has quite the story about them. he swears up and down that those jets are spreading something to stop the rain. he has journals correlated with low pressure systems that move thru and the jet trails and close up pictures of the jets fogging stuff out -all kinds of stuff - this guy says the govt is trying to drought out the farmers/ranchers and get the yellowstone to yukon thing done... he used to write letters to the editor in our little paper about it. i feel sorry for him cause people think he is nuts. anyhow anyone know what that is all about.


seems like that q ranch would take more than cows to pay for it the last time i saw the price tag... i think a guy could spend alot of money developing water on it.

they aren't fighter jets - these jets are solid white with no windows except for the ones upfront.

the jetters from malstrom rarely come by here anymore but it is cool when they do.

Chemtrails are a conspiracy theory that has been circulating.
On April 27, 2009, musical recording artist Prince referenced chemtrails in an interview with PBS talk show host Tavis Smiley. In the interview, Prince discusses a comment by comedian and activist Dick Gregory that "really hit home" about what Prince calls "this phenomenon of chemtrails." Prince goes on to mention an increase in aircraft trails that coincided with an inexplicable increase in "fighting and arguing" in his neighborhood.

On March 3, 2009, Australian television aired a film entitled Toxic Skies, directed by Andrew Erin and starring Anne Heche, in which Heche plays a medical doctor who investigates a series of mysterious illnesses. In the context of the film, Heche's character attributes the illness to "chemtrails" -- toxic chemicals introduced into aircraft fuel and dispersed over the population via jet exhaust.

The others who perpetuate this go on and on. You decide.


ENVIRONMENT AlterNet / By Alexander Zaitchik COMMENTS: 552 Chemtrails in the Sky Are Evidence of Nefarious Activities for Broad-Based Conspiracy Theorists
Cultural panic over pollution in the sky and changing weather patterns has given rise to a peculiar conspiracy theory about jet plane exhaust.

Advertisement Anyone living near a major metropolitan airport has gazed up at the sky and seen them: patchworks of crisscrossing contrails left by passing jetliners. Most of us don't give a second thought to this common sight of a scratched-up sky. If we do, it's likely to reflect on the explosion in air traffic and its growing contribution to air pollution.

But for an expanding minority of Americans, those hanging contrails represent something much more sinister than increased carbon emissions. Since the late 1990s, a flourishing conspiracy theory subculture has been ringing the alarm that many of these contrails aren't normal vapor-and-exhaust contrails at all. Rather, they are chemtrails, mysterious and menacing chemical evidence of secret government programs to modify the weather and depopulate the planet.

Investigation into, and speculation over, the nature of these chemtrails has grown over the last decade from a marginal belief into a millions-strong Transatlantic Truth Quest, with chemtrails taking on the stature of celestial UFOs. If first-wave UFO sightings were the projection of early Cold War fears, chemtrails are the climate-change-age corollary, with cultural panic over pollution and changing weather patterns projected onto the clouds and planes in the sky.

As with flying saucers, hundreds of YouTube clips purport to capture cities "getting pasted" by secret government planes. Dozens of chemtrails Web sites compete for the loyalty and business of a sprawling, gullible and increasingly global chemtrails flock. Like the white lines that are its obsession, the chemtrails scene crisscrosses with every other strand in the pantheon of cosmic conspiracy culture. Most chemtrails sites, like the lovable dontchemtrailmebro.com, also peddle in 9/11 Truth, alien contact, Northern Idaho survivalism and the "suppressed" theories of the twin martyred wizards of etheric energy, Wilhelm Reich and Nicolai Tesla.

The chemtrails scene is a loud saloon of shouting New Age conspiracists spouting conflicting theories at the bar, with the usual assortment of hucksters and Internet paranoids filling the tables. The self-styled leaders of the movement are a diverse lot but share a consensus starting point that thousands of jets are spraying millions of gallons of "chemtrail soup" around the world on a daily basis.

Chemtrails, they hold, are easily distinguished from normal contrails by their longer duration and expansive dissipation patterns. Most of the spraying is believed to take place at night over the population centers of NATO countries, although some skywatchers suspect Russia and China are being targeted as well. As for the content of the soup and who is responsible for the program, that's where things get contentious. But the major theories are generally some variation or combination of the following:

1) U.S. oil companies are secretly spraying reflective chemicals in the air to reduce global warming and thus reduce criticism of fossil fuels.

2) A New World Order cabal -- also known as the Illuminati -- is spraying cities with pathogens in the first of a two-stage depopulation program.

3) NATO aircraft are involved in a top-secret weather-modification program, and/or are refining a new-generation of high-frequency atmospheric weapons.

4) The U.S. government is using commercial and military aircraft to assist and monitor weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes in order to both destroy enemies and pump money into the domestic economy through emergency spending/recovery bills.

Scott Stevens is a leading proponent of the fourth theory. A former TV meteorologist in Pocatello, Idaho, Stevens was fired when he began giving national radio interviews on chemtrails. He took his severance and moved to the foothills above Denver International Airport, where he now conducts plain-sight research into chemtrails full time, maintains the chemtrails site weatherwarsinfo.blogspot.com, and hosts "Amerika Now," a local AM-radio conspiracy culture talk show.

"I don't buy the theory that chemtrails are a pathogenic depopulation program," says Stevens. "You don't need to get so high in the atmosphere for that. And you don't need airplanes."
