Bunch of New Pics!!!!!!!

[Ranchy]

I only have about 50 to share, so hang in there, I'll get them all on here, it may take several posts, though. Not sure how many I can put on at a time....... lol

Early December, 2007

This one was taken from the park, where we were doing food box stuff

From the same spot, a little later in the evening

When we went down and worked on the fence at the place I grew up at

The old Home Place (yep, this is where Ranchy learned to be a cowboy......uh, girl)
That's the edge of Gold Bluff on the right side of the pic

Al, "hiding" in a stringy-bark juniper tree.......trying to get the wire untangled enough to put it back where it's supposed to go

Benjie & Al, ripping the barbed wire out of the ground, so they can put the fence back together again

Same two teens, but you can see part of Gold Bluff in this one

Moon in the middle of the day

Mineral Creek and Gold Bluff

Up the creek from where we were working on the fence

Looking in the opposite direction (see the ice down there?)

A few pics for the horse lovers on the board

My mom (behind the tree) and Al, decorating

Not only did Al decorate the tree, he also got Granny decorated too!

All lit up

The end result, looks pretty good, huh?

One of my support and cheering section-my step-dad, "Pa"

My room at Granny & Pa's casa

Quilt made by my great aunt in the early 1980s

The bed all made up, with the many pillows Granny keeps there

MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!

A shot of Gold Bluff from the top, Silver Peak is just over the little juniper in the foreground

Just about to fall off into Mineral Creek

About half way down the hill, looking up the creek

About half way between the creek crossing and the turnoff to the house

Where the road turns off the county road, to go to the casa (see the old barn and corral?)

Our new to us home

New to us fridge headed up the creek, in Pa's pickup

Coming back here this afternoon

Hwy 180, headed north. You can see Silver Peak in the distance, it is my baby brother's favorite mountain in the area

Christmas Pinon just before we got to my dad's place

Mogollon Mountains from Gutache Mesa

Ranchy, Congratulations on your successful new move and home. You are off to a great start with all that help. The lands seem pretty and vast and it surely looks like you won't be troubled by mold and mildew! :wink: Thank you for posting all those pictures which I find very interesting they are so different from around here. Happy new year to you, Ranchy.

 

[Ranchy]

Lilly, maybe that's why my dad likes Alpine, Fort Davis, etc. so well. I've never been there (he'll be headed back that way the end of Feb, have a cowboy poetry gathering there that he always goes to) so had no idea.

nr, I sure hope we won't have much trouble with mold and/or mildew! It's normally pretty dry, but the last couple of summers have been way above average rain fall! Happy New Year to you, too!

Pictures from other areas are fun to look at. Thanks for posting them.

My thoughts exactly. I think a trip to New Mexico is going to be in the cards one of these days.

Good luck Ranchy. :!:

 

[Soapweed]

Thanks for the pictures, Ranchy. Glad that Santa's sleigh was able to travel on terrain without much snow. :wink:

 

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

Here's a pic I found of the Ft. Davis/ Alpine area for comparison.

 

[Ranchy]

Thanks, Tap!!!!!! Let me know when ya plan to head this way, and maybe we can have a little get-together! I'd like that!!!

Soap, I was too......for a while, I was pretty concerned, but everything came through just fine! :wink: :lol:

Lilly, it does kinda resemble that, huh? Hmmmmmmmm.....course, I guess it's just a little further south and east of here (or down there, anyway). :lol: Thanks for posting that pic!
