Well dude, the main winter activity on the Bondo Cam is our town’s most eligible bachelor Lennie Campbell hitching and driving his teams of hay sled pulling draft horses out of the yard. Usually this occurs between 8:30 and 9:00 AM MST.

After he heads out, you may see some hay and his snow machine sitting in the foreground. Some of you dudes have confused the hay that has fallen off the sled with a dead horse. The entire outfit is alive and ornery. Only the hourly pictures are retained on the web site so you may only be able to catch the action on the temporary three minute interval pictures.

After feeding 200 calves, Lennie returns with a sled full of hay which is taken into the corral on the right to feed the four work horses who are left in their harnesses.

The cowboy returns around 4PM to take the remaining hay to the cattle, reloads the sled and parks it in readiness for the next day’s chores. The horses spend the night in the corral tolerating temperatures down to – 55 degrees below F.

I move the camera around during the day looking for wildlife like moose and wolves and to capture spectacular views of the Gros Ventre Mountains. We often feature Double Top the tallest of the Gros Ventres.

The image is occasionally dark when snow covers the satellite dish. At night there is a green reflection indicating the camera is alive and well.

The camera is an easily manipulated, durable Panasonic KX-HCM280A with its own IP address. It is not attached to a computer.
