I'm pretty sure thats Thunder.

I've heard people call this dune both names over the years. Just curious what the most common name is I guess.

Wierd. I thought Crapo hill was an entirely different dune altogether to the west. Some big f**ken jump dune. At least thats what some tool at the yamaha shop said about 4 years ago. Who knows coming from that place though.....

 

I've always called it Thunder Mountain though.

 

Is Devils Staircase there somewhere? I think its one of those rippley things behind Thunder. Its an awesome climb up that f**kin thing.

I do believe this is it.

That could be it.

Ever climbed that?

Every f**ken step is a jump, and some are kind of mounded like a mini razor back. God there must be 30 of them to the top.

i have a question, what is the purpose of them circular farms .i flew from philly to vegas last year and when you get out past the midwest all the farm crops are in circles.

I think it's an easier way to water. The hook up from center and just spin.

I'm sure all the farm boys round here could answer for sure

Yep it's typically for the center pivot irrigation systems.

 

Center Pivot

This self-propelled sprinkler system rotates around the pivot point and has the lowest labor requirements of the systems considered. It is constructed using a span of pipe connected to moveable towers. It will irrigate approximately 130 acres out of a square quarter section. Center pivot systems are either electric, water, or oil-drive and can handle slopes up to 15 percent. Sprinkler packages are available for low to high operating pressures (25 to 80 psi at the pivot point). Sprinklers can be mounted on top of the spans or on drop-tubes which put them closer to the crop. The water application amount is controlled by the speed of rotation. Center pivots are adaptable for any height crop and are particularly suited to lighter soils. They are generally not recommended for heavy soils with low infiltration rates.

 

Deep wheel tracks can be a problem on some soils, but, there are a number of management methods available to control this problem. Electric-drive pivots are the most popular due to flexibility of operation. Computerized control panels allow the operator to specify speed changes at any place in the field, reverse the pivot, turn on auxiliary pumps at a specified time and many other features.

Circles in the fields are from either aliens or freestyler doing donuts so keep that in mind.

LMFAO

I was gonna mention something about the aliens liking the circular shape.

 

If I was a farmer I'd lay my crops out as dodecahedrons.
