Tucker Returns to the North Platte River, Nebraska

Jun 27, 2012 Wed0

For years I have used a GPS tracklog and software I wrote to geo tag photos. I thought it would be fun to return to some places where Tucker has been in the past and try to get a similar photo after several years.

I think this one is a hoot. We were able to return to the exact boot after 5 years and it does not seem to have suffered from the exposure too much over the years. Compare the two photos. The fence posts are topped with old boots for several miles.

For several miles there was a worn out cowboy boot on the top of every fence post. US 26 on the North Platte River, Nebraska.

I had photos and GPS coordinates of this place from 2007. There are miles of fence posts with boots on top. We returned to the same boot we had photographed in 2007. It looked like it had not aged at all in 5 years.

These are Oregon Wagon Wheel Ruts. There are eleven years between these two photos.
