Looks so unassuming and small in the last frame that I can see how you almost missed it, but really nice details in the series.

Great find, Jim! You did the 70-mile loop in the Subaru? Start posting your other finds.
Thanks and yes, in the Outback, the 17" tires sure help...was debating doing the river ford as the water was 14" deep but common sense prevailed and we dove in!! There is a stretch of several miles where it is quite rocky and slow going so you just take it easy. The National Park Service employees were discouraging everyone not to do the Cathedral Loop and were putting out bad info on the road conditions...claiming there was over a foot of snow in the upper reaches and treacherous road conditions and the river was to deep to ford...follow your instincts, the whole of the loop is dry as a bone!! I went back the next day and corrected their BS!!
BTW, yes I shot the Rough-legged hawk shortly before we met up at Bear River.

I think you had perfect weather for it.
Yes, but I prefer morning/evening light for these subjects.

Great photographs. Someone knew their stuff who once built the house. Makes me wonder how long it took them to gather all those rocks as I am sure Lowe’s, Home Depot or Rocks Are Us were not around to deliver them.
Thank you Joe and it probably took many wagon loads of stone to complete this cabin...and some skilled hands!!

Wow! What a great find. Great shots. Whoever built that cabin hauled a lot of flat rock. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and you are welcome, Greg and good to see you enjoyed this series...probably kept a couple of wagons and mule teams busy!!

Very nice series. Don't you wish it was possible to hear the stories those rocks could tell.
Yes I do and wish there was neighbors to talk with...no one for miles around this site. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Floyd!!

Wonderful sequence. Oh the mystery now begs the question. Who built it and how long ago?
Many thanks for responding POVDOV and as one would expect, nary a soul in sight for answers!!
