Heil home - a photo on Flickriver

Heil home

            Heil, honey, I'm home... just as soon as I get across the gully. The bridge is a bit crusty. My route home for the current weather panic is getting really hung up. This is across and down the Red Hill Road from the junk/dump - jump? I gave up and was on my way back to the flats from the hills. I was on my way down Red Hill to the flats when I caught more shots of one old dump up at Heil Canyon stables for my Heil Ranch series. I made my way up Lefthand Canyon again then turned up Heil Canyon. Even though I had been up to the open space before, I never remembered the corrals and ranch buildings. 

I don't understand why someone spent so much time building their well entrenched sand stone home only to abandon it for the lack of bridge upkeep. The original home was sided with milled lumber then faced with sandstone from quarries up the road I presume. Here, in Heil Ranch up Red Hill, sandstone outcroppings are plentiful. What better material to use. Even the windows don't look particularly old. This chimney is faced cinder block.

I got a move on back to wend my way to town and home. The Denver TV weather panc is prognosticating a couple of feet of snow on Monday even though the last blast. I expect some snow this time, but only on the grass. I have plenty of gas and I don't expect to get stranded.
