Hardware Ranch

Cindy and I had Martin Luther Kings Day off so we decided to take those who could to Hardware Ranch. Shannon, Connor and Payton and Mom and Dad could go so off we went. The day was very nice. It has not snowed for a while. Even though it was cold in the valleys with the temperature inversion, Hardware Ranch was really pleasant for the middle of January. We had to wait in line for a while but it was so pleasant that was not a problem.















The line moved to a point and we thought we would get on but they stopped us because we had too many in the group. It turned to our advantage though because we were the first ones to get on the next ride. The ticket taker asked Payton if she wanted to ride up front with the driver. Of course she said yes to that so Shannon and Payton rode up front. Connor clung to Cindy because he did not want to be up front which worked fine.

Off we went. There are not as many elk this year because most of the snow is already gone up in the mountains even though it is still frozen solid in the valleys. There still were some elk though.

It was a nice ride and a good way to spend the holiday afternoon.
