Fixing Fence

 Saddling the horses just as the sun was coming up.
 Stretching our legs for a bit while heading up to the fence. 
This is the starting point where fence repair begins.  The Continental Divide Trail is on the left.
 Took time to look at some shooting stars.  The wild flowers were beautiful.
 Darlene took care of the horses while we worked.  Still one big snow drift left up there.
 The elk and the snow really broke the fence in many places.  Fence stretchers are used a lot.  Many places are fixed over and over each year.
This is a natural stopping place for the fence. 
We fixed 1 and 1/2 miles of fence that has been there for over 50 years.
Definitely a long day!
