Grasslands before the cold gets here
Do you got all the makings for soup this week? I’m ready! And this will be the last day this week of a reasonable temperature to be out. It was misting when I left the house and had to use wipers. By the time I got to the unit, thankfully the mist had stopped.
Gracie was ready to go!
This is a neat dip between two deep gullies.
Close up of it.
Here is a view that might help you see the scale across the gullies.
This is a kiln for cooking potash that is in the side of the gully.
Moss is growing on it now. I might been told how old the kiln is but sorry I don’t remember exactly but I think late 1800’s.
Down in creek! Plenty of maidenhair fern in the creek. This area is the very first place I saw the maidenhair fern. Brings back memories of Shirley pointing it out to me on a First Wednesday outing.
That will be all today. I will continue with more photos on the next post. I’m pooped.
Keep looking!
Really! A kiln. Why was it there? Old homestead? Thats cool.
Love that unit. (And if i didn't guess right, looks cool haha)
Judy, no clue if kiln was for a homestead or a business. Forest Service biologist might have told but I don’t remember. Yep cool!
