A Trip to the Property

A couple of weeks ago I took John, Jacob and Jason out to the property.  We had a mission.  We were to be meeting someone at the property at 2pm.  We picked up breakfast on the way and ate in the truck.

We also grabbed lunch on the way.  We parked the truck at the main road and walked to the river to eat.  We did that so we would not end up with any visitors driving down our road.  It sure looks different around here in the winter!

This is  taken from the Southeastern corner of our property, looking Northwest.  Our property is on the left.  The plan is to have little cabins on that hillside.  Way up river is the low water bridge – you can’t see it.

Here I am at the same spot looking East, across the river.

Looking Northwest again.  This time we are a little bit further down river.

This is where the kids play in the tubes.  This is looking up the South Prong of the Jack’s Fork River.  It is hard to tell in this picture, but the main river is straight ahead.  Coming in from the left is the Little Pine Creek.

Looking East.  Here is the county road.  Right around that corner is a low water bridge.  The one I was tossing the kids off of into a swimming hole.  I am parked on the road that goes to the camping area.  We own the property on both side of the road.

Now we are down by the low water bridge looking West, up the county road.  We are going to build our house at the top of that hill, on the left.

The sun is almost down.  We should be heading home now.  But first let’s get a couple more pictures of the water.

Looking West, where the Little Pine Creek flows into the Jack’s Fork.

It looked a lot nicer in September.

Looking Southeast, towards the low water bridge.

And what’s this?  This is why we went to the property.  To meet the man who is going to put in our roads and building pad.  This is in the camping area, marking where we want a camp spot to be.

On our way home.  See the smoke up there?  That fire has been going since, at least, August 2007.  They are adding two more lanes to the highway here.  I am assuming they are burning all  the brush and root-balls from the trees they ripped out.

What a nice day.  I will be meeting Dave, the bulldozer guy, at the property on Friday.  This time he is bringing his bulldozer!
