Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...We have snow chains!

This is rig Cyclone 30 in New Castle, Colorado. You can barely see the derrick! This is Randy's truck with his pipe trailer. It is 14 degrees outside. This move gets postponed for half a day because of weather.
The snow is falling pretty hard and it is foggy...

Randy is putting on his snow chains while I'm sitting in my truck across the road taking his picture. It is snowing so hard you can barely see him. Hummm...I could get out of my truck and hobble over to help him but...babe...it's cold outside! And wet! Besides, I'll be getting out soon enough.

He is now finished putting on his chains and is waiting for the truck pusher to call him up to location.




I'm traveling behind one of out trucks while I have an oversize behind me.




Pretty... isn't it? There's alot of elk, deer, and hunters out there! Open season is in two days and the hunters are finding places to camp and are out scanning the area for the best hunting.





On Saturday when it was open hunting I must have seen 6 or 7 of deer and elk being dragged or hung at camp sites by 9:30 a.m. It was really something to see...and HEAR! The hunters were shooting over our heads and I was very glad when we cleared out!




I doubt this is Bambi... I believe a pilot has already taken him out! {for once it wasn't me!}








Wild gobblers [ turkeys ]...What say you Darci? I can just hear you gobbling! Don't deny it! I know you too well...tee hee
I doubt these birds would be good eating. I'd think they'd be really gamey...[is that a real word?]








This is early in the morning as I get off the interstate to head up to the rig. I thought it was beautiful as the sun was rising and with the snow along the Colorado River.

Wow, what a different world you live in! Those are some pretty awesome pictures. It actually makes me wish we had some snow to get into the Holiday spirit. I also think you should pack a gun with you, then you could be shooting more than just pictures. I can't believe all of wild life around. Looks like you have to work with all kinds of turkeys. ;) Just be careful out there!

Gobble gobble gobble...you are funny! Of course I was doing that! It's one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving, gobbling like a turkey! tee hee What a winter wonderland you are experiencing! Be careful! And like your comment about Bambi...poor little thing! ;) We have been getting a lot of rain, no snow here in the valley yet but our mountains have been getting hit with it. I'm really enjoying the changing of the color of the leaves right now! I LOVE FALL! Thanks for the post! Love you!
