An overcast, cool and frosty day near Bush Lake, North Dakota.
It was hunting season and there were several locals, mostly in old beat-up half ton trucks, cruising the countryside looking for game. My Alberta licence plate made me an international curiosity, and vice versa...it's always interesting to talk with the neighbourhood folk. I was the only one without a gun rack in the rear window.
This is Stoneview Township School, known to the old folks in the area as Merryfield School.
The bell is missing but the bell tower and flagpole are intact and the building itself is still solid.
There are a few more windows than is usual in a pioneer school. A large concrete cistern can be seen on the north side of the building.
Some bales that hadn't been picked up yet.
Let's swing!
