Cebolla Cabin


High above Lake City, at over 11,000 ft., runs Cebolla Creek. Beavers have put a lot of work into their dams causing the creek to have a cascading effect as in meanders slightly down hill. It's not unusual to see a moose feeding in the still waters of one of these ponds. There is a dirt road that parallels the creek and I am amazed at the changes in the topography in the thirty mile jaunt from beginning to end. A favorite spot is where the meadow opens up...and sitting there for who knows how many years, is this sweet little cabin.

Wabbit


We have lots of little bunnies hopping around up here. Always happy to see that because it means a mountain lion has not been scouting around.
This rabbit looks like a TEXAS Jack-Rabbit to me. Maybe it's so hot in Texas he came hopping up?

Court House


Our court house (Hinsdale County) is the oldest court house still in operation in the state. It has a wonderful spiral staircase inside. Alfred Packer...accused of cannibalism was tried here in 1877.

Christmas in July


Christmas in July is an annual fundraiser for our little library. Gosh it's a lot of fun. We each pay the price of a new book. The library wraps them in Christmas paper. We draw numbers and unwrap one...or steal someones ...for the right to read it first. A good time was had by all!
