More deer pictures........ I promise I actually built some fence! :wink:
I took these pictures through my spotting scope. Not bad for looking across the canyon.
Some more wildflowers. Up high in the canyon and near water, there were still little bunches of flowers.
Dusk settles on the Sheeprock's. Hard-To-Beat canyon, so named by a wealthy mine speculator who lost his gold pocket watch here. He shut down the mine and put the crew to work looking. When the watch was never found he named the canyon.
Happened around 1890
As we rode down the canyon the evening was HARD-TO-BEAT! :wink:
This mornin' i worked on the fence. The kids worked on mudpies! Bet they had more fun!
Pie-ala-mud! Little H told me she sure had a fun time at the ranch!
Mrs. Leanin' H took this one of the guy who was suppossed to be working.
Atleast i had my gloves with me! :wink:
Finally, some fence pictures! :shock: You know your posthole had issues when ya have a pile of rock left.
This granite country makes ya earn every inch of a posthole. I wanted a cedar post in this wash to help hold the wire. But i hit a ledge at 8 inches. So I improvised! :wink: Old net wire made a basket which I wired to the post and filled with boulders.
My cousin's, for whom I was fencing, didnt want to push a fence line in with the cat. They thought it would just encourage knotheads to ride along it on 4 wheelers. So I am cutting a trail as I go.
The finished product at the wash crossing. I guess i figured enough rocks to hold the post and wire!
This steel post was a bear. I had to try 12 spots to finally get it through the rock pile. But there she stands. Dare ya to pull that one without hydraulics!
Here's the end of the section i built. Plan to start another 1/4 mile Friday. My self-powered post pounder is laying there between the wire and bucket of ties. Maybe i'll shed some pounds this week! :wink:
Looking north where i'll cut a path for the fence. I have some survey posts out there somewhere. But i just line up on a ridgetop on the skyline and it is right on the line.
My old wheeler and fencing helper. It packs me and material to and from the project. Wish the country would allow me to use it to pull the wire. Maybe next section! Have a great evening!
