Hiking treasures

Here are some of the cool things I've found on my hikes.

This old car wreck is at the end of a little-used and overgrown road. It's a motorized car, but you can tell it's very old because the wheel spokes are wood.










I literally stumbled upon this mine shaft, which is not far from a road. There's nothing to warn you it's there, or any protection around it. I can see how people fall into these things. 










Here's a view of the mica mine. The silvery looking stuff is the mica.












Ranching relics are everywhere, as are active stock ponds and windmills, as cattle are still run all over the ranch. These old chutes are near our property line, adjacent to the old tin barn.










Of course, there's no lack of panoramic views. Here's a view of Rocky Boy Peak, with Peeples Valley in the distance.
