I love wide open spaces like that.
ReplyDeleteTrue grit, that is what it took for those homesteaders.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like he really is putting his claim on the land.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good picture of him. I think the folks that came out west to homestead were tough ol' cookies. I admire their grit.
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder how clean the sheets really were after hanging in the dusty wind. LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nancy Kay ---- you HAD to be a touch ol' cookie to live out that remote.
What an awesome photo! I would love to see the inside of the cabin.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's a great photo. Great shades of gray, and who doesn't love the word homestead and a grampa in a cardigan?
ReplyDeleteAwesome old photo! :)
ReplyDeleteI really do enjoy your photos. I should dig out some of mine!
