I headed back up to the cabin this past Friday in hopes of befriending the loggers while they were working away on the property. Unfortunately I was to late in when I got up there as they were already done for the day. So instead spent some time wondering around where they are staging the logs to be loaded on to the trucks to be taken down to the mill in Canyon City. Later in the day, Two friends joined me that night at the cabin and after taking them for a drive to the wilderness boundary with Mt. Evans, we settled in for the evening next to the fireplace.

I had to send my 5DMK4 camera into the shop to get cleaned so I had to break out the 7D for this visit. Was fun shooting with the 7D again.

Staging area for the logs that are ready to be loaded onto the truck. They’ve been taking two fully loaded rigs a day down to the mills in Canyon City since they started.

The last time I had been up to the cabin was in March, well before Cruise Moab. So I headed up to the property this past Thursday night (5/13). It felt great to get back up there. Especially knowing that the logging operations have begun on to the property. We got a major grant from the Jefferson County Conservation District for the logging operations and so far they have about 150 acres completed. Pretty exciting stuff.

I tried top get to the Wilderness Boundary for the sunset from the pond but got turned back due to snow (great to see snow this late in May!). So headed back to the pond to catch the sunset before ending the night at the cabin. A most relaxing evening!

Had to stop and check out some of the logging equipment that was at the property.
