Streamgaging Back in the Day

From the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):

In My Day — "You kids these days don't know what it means to streamgage! In my day, we used to sit in rickety wood boxes, sweating all day long in the hot sun and wearing our best suits!" 

This #TBT was taken in 1890 at Arkansas River near Canyon City, Colorado.
