Spring....the time when Mother Nature has no idea what to do with herself so changes her mind on a regular basis. (Read - Women's right to change their mind has been a precedence since the beginning of time. bahahahahhahaha) These mood changes have been quite evident in all our weather changes since the end of March.....mostly windy, occasional sun, more wind, a little bit of rain, more wind, but occasionally a little sun. When the sun has come....it's been fantastic! 70* plus for the sunshiny days! One word - GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Go, we went! A couple weekends ago, we were having one of those 70* + days in between, quite cool, windy days so Bill and I loaded up the kids (dogs) and headed to the hills to see what we could find. We haven't had a lot of time to really find new back roads and see where they took us; that all changed two weeks ago. One road in particular was good. Custer Peak Road in the central hills. Yes, there really is a Custer Peak. I think I've found a new hiking spot as even in the truck neither of us was excited to drive to the top.

| An old homestead along the way. The stories she could tell. A shame her roof has fallen in. |

| This building is basically in the same pasture as the above photo. I wonder if it was an old calving barn. |
 |
| And there's Custer Peak. An active fire look out stands on top. |

| A view of Harney Peak I've not seen before. This was taken from a road we'd never been on above Hill City. |
A good day for a Sunday drive.
