    Came across this while surfing the net, so I thought I'd share.
    I'm not sure if this technology really exists or this was some
    nice editing by someone. Personally I don't think this is out of
    our reach at the moment. What do you think?

    I somewhat agree with your comment. What I don't fully understand from the
    video is why the "ghost" suddenly becomes visible? Is this stealth or good editing?

    That's not stealth, that's being "Sneaky"....:grin:

    I'll say one thing, with or without those filters I still think the technology exists!
    I think our government has far superior technology than we can imagine.

    I saw your post this morning on CF, so I thought I'd comment.
    I'm not sure if this is how your posts look to everyone or
    if it's just me. Personally I don't know what causes spacing
    like this to happen. What do others think?

    Wasn't meant to attack or diss or hate on. I don't do that. If I don't want to read someone, I put them on Ignore, do that Yao face, and move on. I was just wondering if others saw it the way I do. It's different.

    He feels like he HAS TO make those line breaks... and the three-dotted ones... but it adds to SCROLLING for you and all of us. We've discussed this in depth already. :eek: He won't accept it's hindering and marring this beautiful forum. It's sad, actually.

    Here is a story on transit in Helena Montana in 1866 I thought it was intertesting what do you think there are also pictures at the link if you want to see them makes you wonder how much better things would be if we didnt have highways like Roosevelt wanted

    Overland Freight and Passenger Service

    Charles A. Broadwater's Diamond R Freighting Company dominated overland shipping in Montana before the coming of the railroads. The Diamond R was headquartered in Helena from 1866 on. Broadwater would also become deeply involved in the railroad, serving as President of the Montana Central. Broadwater is perhaps best known for his beautiful hotel and natatorium which once stood on Helena's west side.

    Prickly Pear Canyon, North of Helena



    During Helena's early years, this toll road, originating at the head of Missouri River navigation at Fort Benton, was the main shipping route into the area. Heavy rain and snow sometimes made the canyon road impassable.

    In 1865, the Territorial Legislature granted a license to the Little Prickly Pear Wagon Road Company to build a toll road through the canyon. A year later, in 1866, Helena merchants James King and Warren Gillette bought the road and spent $40,000 upgrading it. By then traffic on it between Fort Benton and Helena had become so heavy, that the men were able to recoup their expenditure within two years.

    By the early 1870s, it was part of the Benton Road, an important freight and passenger route in the territory. Thereafter, other roads and a railroad were constructed through the Prickly Pear Canyon.

    The Montana Trail, 1871



    A section of the stagecoach road from Corinne, Utah to Helena, crossing the Beaverhead River at Point of Rocks, halfway between Dillon and Twin Bridges, 1871.

    Corinne was founded in 1869 as a freight-transfer point on the new Union Pacific Railway line for the shipment of goods and supplies to the mining towns of western Montana along the Montana Trail, the most important early-day land route.

    The Carroll Trail
    Established by the Merchants of Helena in 1875
    as an Alternative to the Benton Road & Montana Trail



    Both the Benton Road and the Montana Trail were expensive and unreliable, so Helena merchants developed the Carroll Trail, named for one of the owners of the Diamond R freight company. Steve F. Russell of Historic Trails Research in Ames, Iowa, has written a concise history of the Carroll Trail (pdf file).

    This about the Carroll Trail by Hal G. Strearns, writing in the 4/11/1977 Helena Independent Record:

    "In 1874 the Northern Pacific had gotten as far as Bismarck and from there the boats
    labored up to Carroll, some 75 miles east of Lewistown, about 30 miles upstream from the
    mouth of the Musselshell. It was March 16, 1874 when the teamsters began trekking
    from Helena to Carroll, working for the Diamond R Transportation Co, which belonged to
    Col. Broadwater, Mathew Carroll, George Steele and E.G. Maclay. Their wagons could
    make about 13 miles a day, a parade of teams two to three miles in length.

    "The Carroll Trail followed the Helena valley to Clasoil, then via the present day Highway 284
    to Canyon Ferry, through White's Gulch, over the Belts, to Fort Logan, Brewer's Hot
    Springs, down the Musselshell, through the Judith Gap to Roy and to Carroll.


    "Very little remains of Carroll, the river's waters having done in the famed port. And precious little is left of Fort Maginnis where troops were stationed to handle marauding Indians."
