Everything
seems to revolve around the Fant's house. That's because the rest of
us are the 'new folks' in the neighborhood. David & Sylvia are pleased
we are here, if for no other reason than they are no longer are the
newest residents. They have been here about 7 years now.
This
is the front of their house looking from the driveway.

If
you turn around in the driveway and look over the fence to the south,
you will see where the Fant's pond lies. You couldn't see the water at
this time because the banks were at a higher elevation back then. David
had them worked this year (2005) and you can see the water from here now.
Yo can see the over turned boat on the right side. This is another relic
from Carolyne's Dad, through me. The Ducks going to the pond were an experiment
that unfortunately didn't work out. It's just a little too wild here for
them to have survived.

Though
not as constraining for seeing the horizon as are the Rocky mountains,
the trees here do interfere. However, the sunsets can be spectacular.
This one gave us a good look at the moon coming up with cotton candy clouds
whiffing above. This view is a little more toward the southeast.

From
the Fant's if you walk north about 1/4 mile, you will reach our main
gate You
can barely see our dog, Freddy, guarding the entrance.

After
entering the gate, watch out for Freddy, up to the right you will see
what Carolyne calls "Our palatial single-wide". She is standing
with her brother-in-law Ira Fielding, her sister Patty's husband. This
picture was taken around Thanksgiving when Ira & Patty paid us a visit.

Come
on up on the porch and you might see a sight like this one of Daryl having
morning coffee with Carolyne. This is in the greener summer season.
|
|
|
The
view from the porch includes the 'gazebo' and fire ring area where we
spend a lot of time around campfires at night even in the summer. If you
have the patience, you will see much more of this area when it is an active
place.

Three
sheds occupy the space just to the south of the mobile home. The one in
the foreground is my'shop' where I keep tools and use for work space.
Behind it is the 'garage' for the lawn mowers and 4-wheeler. The metal
building in the far background houses primarily my fishing and camping
gear.

The
property is a right triangle with the 90 degree corner to the north and
east. From that corner the property line goes directly south to the road
not far from the Fant's driveway. This, the narrowest part of the property
contains the building you can hardly see in the picture. It is,as far
as we can tell, a derelict hog shed. We deliberated razing it, but it
provides some historical interest, so we have cleaned the area considerably
since this was taken. The two posts provide us our 'back gate'.
