    Be sure to wear chaps, gloves, helmet & steel toed boots when using a chainsaw to defend your home... only you can prevent accidents in the home... :heidi:... :D

    When I googled mapped South Range Mich. I got this 360 degree street view photo. Anyone know or want to guess what's going on here?

    Appears to be a quarry/gravel pit. I see a Colman stove on the ground.

    To the right someone has a backpack on, next to someone with an air tank on his back.

    Search and rescue, perhaps?

    Judging by the way they are dressed and the amount of supplies in the truck, I'd have to say it a wedding ceremony and reception. Semi formal.

    There was one exception to the Yooper gun thing. This lady I worked with a few years ago. But no one would mess with her. She chased a bear off her porch armed only with a broom. If she would challenge a bear I don't think a guy with a knife would phase her. She was from just outside of Escanaba
