Crooked Wash BLM Road 1509

Many years ago, my grandfather and father held the grazing lease for much of this land for their large herds of sheep. I presume they used this for part of the winter range. This is a vast and empty space, mostly public land and dry as dust.

The long view across Crooked Wash to the Danforth Hills. Further south is a goat trail through the wash that crosses (I believe) a tiny piece of private property and then connects to the road to Meeker.

All across Moffat County are vast areas of wildfire burned tracts. This is at the top of the Crooked Wash basin which burned in the last ten years. The fire often leaves the amazing skeletal shapes of the juniper trees.

My beloved husband considering this spot for a geocache.
