Out Our Front Door (Old Log)

There are many canyons out west and each is different.  You can sit along the edge and as dusk falls you can see the deer and elk moving out from where they bedded down for the day.  When birds of prey are over the canyon looking for prey on the canyon floor they are often at your eye level.  Remember the canyon floor is three to four hundred feet below.

 

We find it interesting you can see a windmill pumping up water for the cattle and only a short distance away a canyon similar to the one above.

 



 

 Western lakes provide, drinking water, irrigation, recreation and more.  There is an old saying that goes like this "east of the Mississippi farmers  rely on thunderstorms and west of the Mississippi they rely on snow melt" for their crops and to fill the lakes and rivers.  Having lived in the east and the west I feel this is a fairly valid saying.

 

 

The views just keep getting better, below I am on a hill above our camp site looking over a section of a western national forest.  The black specks in the distance on the grass are cattle.



 What a view:)
