< on 4/23/2012 5:54 AM >
|  | | | I actually found this place about a year ago on Google Maps, just never got around to making the journey. Couldn't find much other background info on it, other than it was sold in 1967 and hasn't been used since. It probably dates back to the late 1800's, if I had to guess. I actually hit another location on the way up; just a couple old barns with some farm equipment, but the lighting was superb.

| | | | Really cool place. That Ranchero is pretty rare, it's the last model produced, and looks to be in fair shape?

We escaped right before the heat (it pays to leave at the crack of dawn.)
There's always next time!
@insainly - I think she would love it!
@cr400 - There were actually two of them side-by-side, I only took the one pic because its very clear to the road, so I tried to hurry.
@UEIEJ88 - Thanks so much! Glad you like 'em
Thanks everyone!

I don't normally enjoy HDR images but for most the effect was quite pleasant! Good stuff.
To fail in what you've yet to achieve is more the spirit of exploration than to make no attempt at all.

This is my trusty Sigma 10-20mm. Almost every shot I've taken has been with this lens.
