Been a hell of a year to find time to get out and do some exploring but last week, Cindy and I finally found some and did just that. Our main purpose was to soak in some fall colors but also used the opportunity to check out some properties for sale that we've eyeing. While the trip was nothing too special, the weather was perfect and we had a great time. Anyway, here are a few pics from our trip.
Started off our morning with a few stops along an old highway and to see some of relics still standing from a time long ago.
These shots were of the first property we went to check out and it was 210 acres in size.
While there were no trees on the property, there were some nice building sites, a seasonal spring fed creek and beautiful rolling golden hills to explore.
Here's a shot from the top part of the property and if you real close, you can just make out Pippi in the distance.
Not 100% sure what this was or is but I can tell you that it was deep and there were 2 large pipes with old valves on them. Lots of bones from rodents to snakes to antelope that had fallen inside and died.
After leaving the property, we explored some of the canyons and found what we came looking for - beautiful fall colors.
Here we are taking in the views of the valley below as we crested a summit.
And, we even got a chance to get Pippi's feet a bit wet. Really surprising to see water still flowing this late in the year.
The second property we came to see was 320 acres in size and in a canyon. Essentially, it was surrounded on 3 sides by beautiful mountains, striking rock formations, tall aspens and a creek flowing through it. Extremely quite, private and gorgeous but... steep, rugged and not a single good place to build.
The property literally goes to the top of the ridgelines you see.
Even turning back around was tough and for that, we were glad that we came in Pippi.
Anyway, that was our trip and we hope you enjoyed the few pics we took from it
