After 3 years of trying, I was finally able to travel Red Gulch Road near home. I work summers far from home and by the time I get back the road is unreliable. 3 years ago I started to the road in light snow with gray skies, not too promising for photos, but maybe a little scouting. By the time I reached 6000 feet I was in a full on blizzard on a dirt road turning to mud and snow, I turned around when I nearly ran over a poor cow that had wandered onto the road, I didn't see it until it was nearly steaks. The road had accumulated nearly 4" of snow in an hour and there was no sign of it letting up, the cow was the last straw. The next year I got about 3 miles up and got stuck in the snow. I was digging myself out when the Marlboro man and a pack of dogs came along and pulled me out. So finally this year I was able to make the trip. My eyes saw incredible beauty, but my camera didn't come out as often as it should have.
The first photo is of a homestead along Tensleep creek. The second is of a barn just outside of the town of Tensleep. The third is of a butte along Red Gulch. The forth is the same butte with a WA lens. I live in an incredible place, but the camera stays in the bag unless the light is right, the angle is right, if I have time to stop along the way to the next place with the right light, etc etc. Great stuff all around, but this trip alone I drove 300 miles in a loop and had about 20 minutes of decent light. I wish I could camp at many locations and just watch the magic happen, work demands too much of my time.
