Fargo, North Dakota.
On this Monochrome Monday, I thought I would share my social media connections with you. Each week I feature a different theme and once a day I post an image to my social media accounts. Most are images from my gallery, not all of them were published here on Journeys with Johnbo. This week’s theme is #SteamIsKing and features both fixed and mobile steam engines captured on my travels. The image above is a fixed steam engine captured at Rollag Minnesota during the annual Labor Day weekend Western Minnesota Steam Thresher’s Reunion. As you can see by the image, it is a working engine, operational during the exhibition.
If you’re not following me on one of the social media sites where I hang out and you’d like to check out my daily posts, you can follow one of the sites listed below…

Journeys with Johnbo 
My dad owned a small stationary steam engine at Rollag for many years. I regret that I never made it there to see it.
For over 30 years, I ignored the reunion despite living less than an hour drive from it. That was a big mistake. What an interesting event they put on each year!
I wish I had gone at some point.
You should fix up a steam boat and use it to get to the reunion. Ooooold Maan Riiver, ooold maan riiver. LOL What’s twain mean again? 🙂
I’d forgotten the definition and had to look it up. Twain is a reference to the number 2 for river depth. Mark Twain is two fathoms (12 feet) a safe depth for a steam boat, according to Google.
