These staw bales aren't the type I threw up on wagons when I was a teenager. Each of these bales is about four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long. I shot all these photos during a trip today to the county landfill. This is a shot of the Snake River Valley in southwest Idaho. The white bluffs in the distance are on the far side of the river which is on the other side of the big butte on the right. Some Oregon bound wagon trains followed a route on top of the whie bluffs (left to right). The "Dry Trail" as it was called, was only used by those whose oxens were to tired to ford the river about 50 miles back up the trail.

Great shots of the hay bails! In Alabama, the country roads are littered with various sizes, even rolls as big as cars! I wouldn't want the job of moving those 4x4x8 bails.
I like the last image a lot, the cliffs in the back are so far away, they almost look like a painting. Great detail in that.

Haying has changed a lot in recent years. Back in the early 70's the wife and I still used some ancient machinery...mostly because we were younger and into the fun of just doing it.
But...right...you see mostly modified forklifts picking up these bales of today. Hey...I wonder if Paul Bunyon(did he really...ahem...actually exist), Hulk Hogan or Lou Ferregno would be interested in a friendly contest??
