Must have been a lonely life there.

Nice pics Tap. Your country kind of has a blend from badlands to foothills without the mountains in behind.

 

[Mrs.Greg]

Thanks for the pics Tap. Not enough trees for me, but nice country. No traffic cops or salesman to bother you out there. :lol:

Tap,
Was that "lonely place" once a log cabin?

Yes it was jersey lilly. It was the homestead of the people who the small local post office and almost town was named after. These folks left the area years ago, but this spring some ansestors of theirs came out during our branding. The logs used to build this house more than likely came from the pine hills in my last picture. The early settlers, then homesteaders cut most all the timber in those hills, and other local pine hill ranges in the area for their building uses. Fortunately the timber came back in later years. I have also heard that the creeks had some timber on them, but they cut that too. :x

Thank you to everyone else for your nice comments.

That was VERY funny FH. I got a good laugh out of that one.

Sort of like the Maytag Man. :wink:

I would dearly love to find an old cabin that could be rebuilt like that. It's one of those things that is on the list of "things to do" one of these days.

Enjoy looking at the pictures Tap. Really like the spring you have running thru there. Went to a deep well forum in Faith the other night. To hit good water here we need to drill down about 3200 ft. You have a $160,000 spring running thru there. Water sure makes a ranch!

 

[tumbleweed_texn]

Dang, if ya thru in a few methane and oil wells that would look just like this area. where is that Tap?

 

[Clarencen]

Back in the 1030's even the Maytag man came out in the country to sell washing machines. Th magazine salesmen would take old batteries, old automoble radiators. old copper or brass or even chickens for a magazine subscription.

Great pictures...Thanks...I was thinking that you should get over to that old house and get some of that wood and make picture frames for your photo's..then sell the rest. I've paid money for old barnwood frames...If hubby knew anything about wood...he would build them for me...but he knows wood like I know mechanics!!!!

Not so awful far from you, up in NW SD. If you were to drive through this country, you would think that it actually flatter than what it is. When you get away from the hiway, there are lots of creeks and rolling hills. We have a mix of all of it.

Great pics, Tap! Your cows look really good for this time of year! :nod:
