SHEFFIELD/IRAAN PART 3.


















Jeez, my pictures are all jumbled up...sorry about that.
We crossed the Pecos River on the way to Iraan and went over this cool, old bridge.
We passed the entrance to Ft. Lancaster but did not stop....and we should have.
Then you climb up this BIG hill and can stop and look back over the valley....GREAT VIEWS and the butterflies were out.
Iraan is about 18 miles from Sheffield, population 1,238....it is 115 miles from Pecos.
We arrived just in time for their High School Homecoming parade....it lasted about 10 minutes.
The wagon picture was the Ft. Lancaster float.
What a hoot!
Half the population was watching the parade and the other half was IN the parade.
I didn't like the feel of Iraan as much as Sheffield.
---------------------

I'm cold.
It's 55 degrees here this morning.
We've only had the A/C on once in almost 2 weeks and this week will more of the same....50's at night and 80's during the day.
I gotta go make snake heads-n-tails for our Ft. Davis sale next Saturday.
And I'm painting a flower pot to enter in the Pecos County Fall Fair on Friday.

Thanks fer bloggin'.
Love mary

Dear Mary,
Thanks for the latest collection of photos. I especially liked the butterflies. Can you imagine crossing that land on a horse or in a wagon???
Love,
Dave
