Hiking at Daley Ranch

[cmayer31]

Had a day off and the weather was perfect for a hike, so I headed out to a place called Daley Ranch . There's the old ranch house, some run down buildings, and many miles of trails for everyone to use. The house is currently not open to the public, but the land is.

I took Frankie too, here's the thread with her pictures: Frankie on a hike

Here's the non-Frankie pictures of the hike:

Another view of the barn. I really liked the old buildings; just wonder how long they'll continue to stand:


Some of the other old buildings:




This one was so cool. The water company provided a tank and pump for potable drinking water. There's also a troft and bucket for horses and dogs:


Still some more:

Saw this little guy along the way:

I'm going to try and merge these together into a panorama:




The reflection below the sun is the ocean way off in the distance:


And lastly some sunset pictures as we were leaving:




Sorry for so many pictures. Just had a lot of fun out there, it was so peaceful.

I enjoyed the photos of the old buildings. A friend and I recently spent a good 2 hours taking photos of some old railroad cars, for some reason old structures are rather fascinating. The sunset photos turned out very nice too!
