Right Up My Street.

A completely beautiful day here...minus 32 early this morning, but now it has warmed up to about minus 22. The sun is shining, the snow is diamond crusted, and it couldn't be a more perfect winter day.
After doing errands in town, I took a quick drive up Inman Road. Here's one of Sam's cows. Sam is an old rancher who moved from 70 Mile to Lone Butte last year. He bought the old Inman Farm, and has cattle, and a few ancient chuckwagon ponies. Sam is in his seventies, and still races chuckwagons at the local rodeos.


Looking southeast from the north end of the Inman farm. That's the butte in the distance.


Looking southeast down Inman Road from the second cattle guard.


"At the second cattleguard". This is the end of maintained road. There's one house about a mile further along. The road remains public, and eventually turns into logging road, and finally a trail.

Thanks I had a good night's sleep last night. It is a glorious day here too but we only went to -25C last night and it is about -17C now.

This is when the north is at its best I think.
