Homestead – May 29
We took a walk from our temporary ‘homestead’ down the road apiece and found a real homestead circa 1925.
The sturdy little cabin was surrounded by several outbuildings; a small shed, root cellar, outhouse, corrals, and a well with windmill.
On the trek back to our little house on wheels we encountered some of the current residents.
Two elk trotted across the road ahead of us.
We were also treated to a wild flower show high in the pinyon pine-juniper forest. These Indian paintbrush flowers were brilliant.
