Old Iron in Star Valley

  • Snowmobile Dumpoff

    Today we had the 2012 Thayne Snow Days in Thayne, Wyoming.  It’s a Star Valley community event where people come and do such things as drag races and children sled races.  Here’s a clip of a video I took that shown someone getting dumped off the back of their sled (snowmobile).

  • Photo Journal Jan 2012

    This year I’ve decided to once again do a photo journal.  However, unlike previous attempts, I am only going to take one photo a day, and upload the entire month as a single post, instead of a post every day.  These photos are just that–a journal.  They are not meant to be glamourous or overly…

  • Burning of the Old House

    It’s hard to believe that we are coming up on one year since we burned down the “Old House”.  This house was on our farm from about 1914 to March 16th, 2011.  The home was built by my grat-grandfather Lawrence Weber and his siblings for their mother, my great-great grandmother Verena Weber, whom was born…

  • Swan Valley Waterfall

    Fall Creek Falls in Swan Valley, Idaho. These are some photos I took and a video that I compiled while shooting at Fall Creek Falls in Swan Valley, Idaho.  Swan Valley is next to Star Valley, which borders it on the North Side of our valley.  It’s a very pretty waterfall that few people know…

  • 1929 John Deere Model D

    Earlier last fall I learned that someone in the valley has a very nice 1929 John Deere model D.  The D was the first tractor that John Deere produced under the “John Deere” name (the Waterloo Boy was officially the first, which John Deere purchased to jump start their tractor line).  Here is a picture…

  • Wintertime in Star Valley

    Star Valley winters can be tough. Fortunately, we have our nice sleds (snowmobiles) to help us get through them.  This is a video I compiled of clips shot up Willow Creek, one of the valley’s many popular canyons.  Featuring Eric & Rob Heiner on their Yamaha RX1s.  

  • Motorbiking at Caribou Mountain

    One fo the things I love to do during the summer is go on bike rides with friends.  This is a ride I was on where we went to Caribou Mountain.  It’s quite windy, so sorry for all of the noise!    

  • Difference In A Year

    It’s amazing how different one year can be.  Especially when it comes to the weather and snowfall.  Last year we had new fresh powder almost every single week.  This year we really haven’t gotten any new snow since the first of November.  I thought it might be neat showing a photo comparing the two.

  • Random Summer Clips

    With it being so cold this year, I thought I’d compile a small video of clips from various summer activities. It shows a small summary of life in the rural Star Valley Wyoming.  

  • Summer Restoration Project

    My summer project has been restoring the ’47 A that has been sitting on our farm for as long as I can remember.  I’m not sure exactly how long long it’s been there, but I don’t remember it NOT being there.  I’m not completely done with it, but it’s definitely made progress!          …
