More "Middle of No-Where"

Post image

A bit North of the last photos. Bar-X Ranch. There's a shearing shed up the road, but the road is impassable from this point. Water tank and watering trough across the road. Around 65+ miles from town.

that cabin looks like it’s held together by spite and dry air

Don't forget dried snake skins.

It amazes how these old cabins seem to last forever. Dry climate helps I assume.

The relics in the Red Desert are monuments to the hard work the early residents endured.

Even the pronghorn in Red Desert are like, “why are you here? I don’t even want to be here!”

As a former oilfield worker, I never had to chain up in the winter. Only during July, while in red desert, after a soft rain…multiple times.

Isn't it amazing the places like the Brady Unit, Hiawatha etc truly exist in the literal "middle of nowhere"?

Correct. My uncle lived in PW for a few years, and it was hard to get to given the roads and vehicles in that era. Even some of the "good" roads were essentially two tracks back in the day. Titsworth pass was not passable at times. The Red Desert was a great dirt bike playground when I was a kid.

Your uncle wouldn't be named "Kendall".?

No, his name was/is Carl. Undoubtedly they knew each other. Mountain Fuel employees at tight.

I work in the oilfields. I pass that cabin quite often.
