SHEFFIELD/IRAAN PART 1.






The drive to Sheffield was nice. We stayed off of IH 10 completely and took the back roads. I'm getting used to taking a pee behind mesquite bushes. You can easily see if a car is coming...photo #1.
There were alot of blooming yellow wild flowers and the cedar was blooming big time.
We saw alot of hawks and buzzards...and not much else.

We came upon an area of at least 10 acres...probably more that was open and flat and surrounded by little mountains. You could see alot of sticks and debris washed up on fences etc.
This was not a wash, draw or creek...it went on for MILES.
It was a huge flood prone area and it sure did....flood...but was dry now.
Hundreds of goats were enjoying the new grass when we went by.
Photo #2....these old electrical poles are all along the road and are low enough to check by horseback. We were surprised that the glass insulators are still on them.
Photo #3....Coming into Sheffield: I liked this sign. It sits in front the vine covered trailer in Photo #4.
Sheffield has a population of 600.
I liked it but don't want to live there.
