Lineman Rodeo-Part 2!

Here are a few more pics from the rodeo.....


This is Eric loading the dummy for the Pole Top Rescue.



Pole Top Rescue (Not Eric)

This is a pic of one of his team mates changing out a cross arm.


And Eric (in the white) loading up the new cross arm to haul up to him.

Housting (dunno if that is the right word...) it up.

Hanging out with his crew.


Getting instructions on the "Mystery" event. They had to tie all the knots they learned blindfolded.

Getting ready. The 2 guys in the pic are his instructors. Funny guys!

He did it in no time at all!

It was pretty fun to see all they had been learning. Some pretty crazy stuff to learn in only 3 1/2 months! He loved it but is glad to be done!

Aunt Nancy here..."Hoisting" I think is the word you were looking for on the rodeo picture. I appreciate you filling us in on the professional life and training of a lineman. Never thought about it much before.
