Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge

So this Sunday we went for a little ride out to the bird refuge. We always have good luck getting wildlife pictures out there. It is a good way to spend a few hours if your in the neighborhood

A Blue Heron we startled out of the reeds.

I almost didn't see this little guy. That would have made for a bad day.

And finally the weasel. This little guy kept running up to the truck and i could not figure out why until i noticed a muskrat pup lying in the road. he quickly scooped it up and scurried away.

Yenko Camaro

We were having a burger at burger bar in roy and in pulled an orange yenko Camaro. Talked to the guy briefly and was kind enough to let me take a few pictures.

Rail art

Every once and a while i come across some graffiti that grabs my attention. I think it is an understated art form. I have been to art galleries and museums and some of the best most creative that i have seen have been on rail cars and building sides.

Little red Ford

I have seen this little truck every year almost since i started going to the cache valley cruise in. Its pretty dam cool. I have never seen or talked to the owner.

9 Mile Canyon

We decided to take a little 3 day trip to 9 Mile Canyon to see the Ancient Indian rock art. It was a pretty good trip. I learned to bring my own bottled water and where all the cleanest out houses were. Allot of the carvings were covered in dust due to the increase in heavy truck traffic for the natural gas wells in the canyon. The roads were beginning to be paved but i feel the damage has been done. Who knows how many more carvings will not be discovered because of the dust. Okay I'm off my soap box!! This was a pretty good trip aside from the constant bathroom breaks. We are planning on another trip and i am going to Geo tag everything i can to a map.

Mill Fork Cemetery. We stopped here to eat our lunch there was decent shade for the time of day.

This formation is just around the corner form Mill Fork Cemetery

WE came across this in the castle gate pass. This was about 100 yd up a canyon.

This building was about 200 yd past the little building. It took me awhile to find out what these were originally used for. They are explosives storage buildings from when they widened the castle gate pass.

Inside the large building.

I'm not a superstitious or a paranoid person, But the entire time we were up this little canyon i felt like something was terribly wrong with this place. it got even worse the the further we hiked up into the trees.

You cant see it in this picture but there is a granary up in the cracks of this mountain side. We did not have a telephoto lens on this trip but i managed to get a good picture through our nikon Binoculars.

Not to bad for holding a camera behind a set of binoculars.
