Mike took us up to Red Creek by Jarvie's Ranch to show us where my grandfather Sylvanus Collett and Sarah (his first wife) lived. Grandpa irrigated his farm by making locks into the creek to bring the water up to irrigate his fields. There is an outline of the cabin and part of the fireplace. You can see the doorway. It was a mighty small abode. 15 X 15 feet, maybe. Next to the road enbakement it looks like a root cellar was there. Mike says one of the locks is still there and has been cemented in.
We are looking into the fields that were cultivated by him and now has gone back to nature. They had the mountain to their back and a beautiful view in the front of the cabin. In this picture you can see the fireplace.
See Ron taking a picture of Chuck taking a picture! He is quite a character! Rocky Jr. Mike, Mark are by the grill. I'm bent over fixing some food, George is in front of Mike's back, Colette, Ron, Patti, and Amber in the chair. Remember these are candid pictures.
The catcus was in bloom everywhere.
Same group, different pose.
Here's Amber! She is molding the Hamburgers. The food tasted so good.
Sorry, Colette! We got yousucking on a straw. Patti is wondering what's going on. I'm dishing up something. We had a great day, a little history, a little food and lots of camaraderie!
