MafiaMan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sorry, I can't help but brag a bit. I got a call from a number of relatives who were watching the news in SW ND in early January when he was on TV...the picture was taken about 20 miles north of Belfield right along Highway 85 (my parents' ranch)...

Sioux-cia Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Is he standing by the North Dakota state tree? I think I see it in the distance to the right of and beyond his right shoulder. Cute kid! Gotta love those muddy knees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Actually, the "tree" is a pile of rocks at the top of a hill right along Highway 85. When my grandpa was a kid, he used to pile up rocks on high points and my dad and his sister and cousins continued doing so. This is the only one visible from the highway though. If you've ever driven between the Watford City/Belfield area on that route, you've most likely seen the rock pile. For an idea of how high the rocks are, my son is 3 1/2 feet tall in the picture. On the 4th of July every year since I was a baby, my dad would tie a US flag (on a flagpole) around the rock and it would wave proudly throughout the day. I remember as a youngster waking up early on the 4th every year so I could make my way out to the hill with him and salute the USA. If we were lucky, some passers-by would honk their horn at us. I always thought that was the coolest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did catch the reference to the power line poles in the background. Niiiiiiiice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
