Wordless Wednesday: 'Twas a hot day in July, summer of '16 . . .

. . . when a couple of guys from the U. S. Geological Survey set out across North Dakota . . .


. . . forded a stream or two in the ol' Ford . . .


. . . and set up their tent on the prairie.


William Clinton Alden and the young 'un had a job to do . . .
