Fall in Hobble Creek, 2009

Over the last few weeks Mushna and I have visited Hobble Creek to take advantage of the fall colors. Things have been busy so I haven't found time to process photos until recently.

These are from the first visit:

Hobble Creek has cattle freely roaming around the canyon. On our second trip, they were herding the cattle down to a corral located toward the bottom of the canyon. While we were driving down, we had to navigate our way through the two herds they had separated the cattle into. Here is the first herd behind Mushna:

While driving down, we were waiting for a break in the first herd, so I started talking to one of the kids. She and her "partner", Clayson were only eight years old and they were moving a lot of cows. Here are some shots of the action:

I didn't realize it until I started processing photos and was looking at creating a set on Flickr for them, but Mushna and I actually visited Hobble Creek on October, 18th 2008 when we were dating. Our second trip up was on October 18th, 2009. Pretty crazy.
