This is a pitcher pump that is in the middle of nowhere.
I imagine it's an old homestead site but there is no other evidence.
It's been there as long as anyone can remember.
The amazing thing is, after one or two pumps, it ALWAYS works.
Around here all the old homesteads have Easter Lillys around them. You can tell where the homesteads were at because nothing else is present but them.

I started my immigration journey in this country 15 years ago this week.
Ooops missed your post you are from Canada. Curious if you collect coins from there.
I want to build a small early Canada (pre 1920) XF-AU type set which will include a variety of provincial coinage and tokens. So far I have exactly one type, a nice AU Bank of Upper Canada Penny token from the 1850s, when my family arrived to then Upper Canada.
We’ll see if I stick with it. I doubt I will. I kind of what some later types, too.
However, my work on the photography of the Cornerstone Collection of Canadian coins catalog is up there with my collection of catalogs from the Pogue collection.
We meet up with our new breakfast club at one of their beautiful hangar/homes at Poplar Grove Airport (C77). Join us for our first trip to this impressive fly-in community.
Great video.....I live about 10 mins from C77 and have done a lot flying in and out of there over the years. We also had my son learn how to fly there before he got his drivers license. My first flight instructor lives in a house you taxied by in the video, he is currently a Delta captain, great guy and great pilot. He let me solo at 10 hrs the day after a blizzard on a snow packed runway at KRFD. Many airline pilots live there.
My former boss lives there and crashed his plane on a high density altitude takeoff....misjudged. Shucked some corn and lived. There is a nice museum there as well as some warbirds tucked away. Thanks for posting your experience. How did your plane check out after the annual. Sometimes that first flight out of annual can be scary. We used to get DC 8’s out of check and find all kinds of things wrong on that first flight. I once had a brand new 767 out of Boeing Field we took delivery of and several static wicks missing on the elevators. How do you miss them? None the less, fun watching you. Like the island trips as well.
Been spending some time on Air Force bases the last several years and checking out some nice stuff.
I still think the 757 is the best !

Seems to be a lot of these on the Net lately.
Was wondering just how big bears can be and found these

Wait. It's not safe yet.
