Ok, so one more batch of pictures from the mountains.
Just when I was getting started at this little job of mine, I actually spent about 9 months living with my father up in the hills. His place is about 1o miles from the nearest town, Livermore, and that town consists of a post office and a gas station and literally nothing else. So much of my free time consisted of throwing the dogs in the truck and driving around the back roads and jeep trails of northern Colorado. Before a couple of days ago, I hadn’t poked around a lot of the old photos I took on these excursions in quite some time. And turns out, I like some of them…
Here’s some from one of those random afternoon trips…
- About 3 miles west of my old man’s place on the very aptly named Sky Prairie Road.
- The wind rips across this little spot. Even though these pictures are a couple of years old, I remember freezing my ass off taking them…
- Awfully damn pretty though… I miss this place.
- After freezing my ass off for 20 minutes, I retreated about 8 miles back down the road to lower elevations… Less snow, and substantially less wind.
- Still awfully pretty.
- A pretty decent place to take the dogs for a little stroll.
- Guess we’ll head home now…
Ok, I’m done with my little mountain kick for the time being. Next week I’m off to Pittsburgh, PA, with a possible stop in Charleston, WV. I’ll keep you posted, and do my best to keep you entertained in the mean time…

Everybody enduring the heat of summer will enjoy this glimpse of snow!
I forget sometimes that it snows here almost every year… Here’s to January…
When i see your last posts i get the travel bug. Nice pictures, pretty landscape!
Well, travel. It’s good for you :). Thanks for your continued interest…
Snow, I had forgotten what it looked like! To me mountains and desert are equally beautiful.
