Morning Walk
Walking to the national forest fence at the foot of hill in the distance. The temperature was about 30 degrees and there was no breeze -- a perfect morning for a walk. (Larger version)
Along the way we passed some trees that someone had cut along the road. Evidently they cut a few limbs off this Pinyon and decided it wasn't what they wanted. (Larger version)
The snow covered peaks are about 20 miles away. (Larger version)
The soldered seams on this historical litter indicates they have been here for many years. (Larger version)
This road is no longer used. It appears on 1908 maps. (Larger version)
The national forest boundary. Normally, this is the point at which we turn back toward home. (Larger version)
The forest boundary sign on the left post at the gap in the fence. (Larger version)
Scratched on a rusty sign on the right post is historical grafitti. The date is 1933. (Larger version)

Another fine tour.
I'm making the rounds to wish all of my blog friends a Merry Christmas!
Ah...1933. I wonder if the CCC built that fence? It's been that way for 75 years. The way things are going, maybe in a few years young people will be swinging picks and shovels once again.
