Fall Journey

To put the water pump in the canyon away for the winter sounds easy enough… disconnect this and that, pull the pump and pipe out of spring high water danger, and a few minor adjustments…

Getting there is the difficult part.

One tree had fallen, taking another with it. Never fear, Vernon was prepared. Chain saw in hand, minutes later, sawn, winched, and tossed out of the way, the tree was no longer a barrier.

All ahead, full! The only thing slowing us down… was… nothing. I took photos at almost every crossing, at full speed, hoping to capture some of late fall colors that decorated each. The same colors, the same ingredients of chokecherry, willow, fir, and unknown shrubs, the water, and moss covered stones… each tableaux different, each view magnificent. I love this journey!
