Nothing could be finer than some cows, a few goats, and a barn. Well, maybe if music was involved it could be finer, but today was very good even without the music. 🙂
But first off, before we get to that cow/goat/barn stuff, I was driving around the area just outside the town of Mossyrock, and saw this trailer below … (click photos to enlarge them).
What’s that about? Look at all those windows and doors, even a ramp (and yes it was a fold down ramp) on the side of the trailer near the back, all different heights. Of course, I whipped around the corner to follow behind the trailer and take more photos.
Here’s a photo of the back end of the trailer. There’s a ladder on the left up to the roof, and then a storage locker up there on top on the right, and then space on the left for standing or maneuvering or working.
What’s that all about? I couldn’t figure it out, and I still don’t know. The door on the back wall of the trailer opened to the side … it’s hinged on the side … it was not hinged on the bottom to make a ramp for horses or other animals, or for an off-road vehicle. If any of you folks know what this trailer hauls, or what it’s used for, please let the rest of us know. It was fancy, that’s for sure.
I followed along behind these folks for awhile but they were obviously headed away from where I wanted to be, so eventually I turned around and headed back to the country around Mossyrock … and to the cows and goats and a barn. 🙂
Actually, I was looking for something else entirely, but came upon the field in the photo below, with the cows munching away on the hay that had been spread by the farmer.
Comfortable, friendly folk here.
And then further on down the road, around a few turns, maybe even on a whole different country road entirely, I came across these critters below … goats galore … there were at least 20 goats in the field.
Here’s a little video with a few friendly bleats in it, so turn your sound on. 🙂
Just up the road from the goats was this field of future Christmas trees.
And just around the next corner, practically just across the road, was this handsome barn. What a beauty.
By now, I’d been out all morning so I headed back to my campsite for lunch. Here, below, are two videos … the first video is of the drive in through the main road of the Ike Kinswa State Park, heading towards the campground … the second video is of the drive in through the campground itself, past a few of the cabins, and then to my campsite, arriving at Towhee the Trailer just in time for lunch.
This morning’s outing was super. I wonder what’s in store for my afternoon outing. Who knows? Ah, I think I’ll have a bite of lunch and then have a little nap before I head out for afternoon exploring. 🙂
