Stormy Weather and progress on the Range

As I traveled to and from the quarry today you could see the cloud formations and snow on the peaks.

Another noticeable transition was the sheep wagon and the oil rig in the background.  

Not only do we see progression in the weather changes, we see a sign of things to come; oil industry and the cattle industry on the same range.

Wild Wyoming Winds

This will be my last trip to the frozen, snowy, windy Quarry for 2009.The winds were howling up to 40 mph bringing the windchill down to about 8 degrees F.

The rocks slabs were frozen with ice, frost and snow on them. I will take them to a lower elevation and a warmer garage where they will become manageable. Hopefully they will contain lots of fossil fish.
