Sept 25, 2016 Annex update

The door is now installed.

Ceiling framework for the tile is pretty much in for the hall. 

Landscaping on the south side is being done.

 And on the North side.

Dirt has been added for the lawn of shrubs 

that will go next to the building.

Pavers are being added to areas as well.

This is the dirt for the area next to the building.

Trees have been added on the South side.

And an unfortunate bump and the 

paver bricks fell quickly,

they were not re-stacked nearly as fast.

The floor is nearly done and 

pads still need added to the walls.

Hell's Backbone bridge

Between Escalante and Boulder there is a road 

that goes up into the Boulder mountains and crosses 

over a narrow area where the water flow goes 

two directions from the ridge line. 

The manmade bridge over that narrow section 

is called Hell's Backbone bridge.

The trees and rock formations and the 

instant drop off for both sides are amazing

things to behold.

Here are a few images that cannot do 

justice to the actual feeling you get

when you stand on the bridge and look off both sides.

The color in the dead wood is beautiful

and the twisting of the tree as it grew

must indicate the pressure of the winds

crossing the area.

A view of the bridge before descending the last section

of road from the top of the mountain.

The view off one side of the bridge

 Growing on the edge, literally.

I felt much more at ease when I got back into the 

forest leading to the bridge.

Aug 6, 2016 on the road to Tropic Utah from Panguitch

Tropic is the entrance town to the 

bottom side of Bryce's National Park.

Many of the rocks and hills on the road to Tropic 

are a continuation of the same landscape as in the park.

This waterfall was created by early 

settlers that made a canal to Tropic using for their 

waterways some of the existing areas where water 

could run without having to dig a canal.

Buffalo ranch between Zion's and Panquich

Near Mt Carmel Junction in Utah is a 

private buffalo ranch. I love buffalo, old wooden fences, old 

windmills and even this old bull that was in with the buffalo.

There were also a group of turkeys further down the road.

Here are the images of the buffalo
