Made a quick trip up to Wyoming this past Saturday to fetch a Power Ball lotto ticket...and an excuse to do some photography. These old structures are part of a working ranch and back in the hills a ways behind locked gates. I happened to drive by as the rancher and a couple of his teen age sons were taking a wagon load of hay to feed his cattle. He invited me in to photo these old structures that have been on my list for quite some time. As you can see by looking on the ground, the main occupants these days are the cattle...you had to be careful where you walked!
Great pics. Where in Wyoming? Nearest town? Curious, as we spent some time up there.

Lucky for you and then lucky for us that you were at the right place at the right time to be invited in. Really nice shots, Jim!
Very nice as well as interesting.
What a great bit of timing and good fortune. Very nice work documenting these.

When I see pictures of old buildings like this it just makes me wonder if those buildings could talk and tell the story of the occupants who live there through the years it would be so interesting. Your images are very very good very sharp and clear.

Rick, and awesome set of old log structures. DDLs show how they were dovetailed in to hold it together. Thank you for this set.

Thanks whatdat...these were out of Evanston, WY about 20 miles.
My sentiments too, Bill!!
I think that is an old belt driven water pump.
