We TOOK OFF at a Fast Pace —- Sunday, June 15, 2025

We’ve been doing hay in the morning, noon, and evening! We are tired and needed a change of scenery.

We looked at our hay requests. We have a time slot for a small break, maybe three or four hours.

So off we went through Montrose, Colorado, to Log Hill Mesa. I’ve wanted to go there forever!

After we made it over the top, we hit Dallas Divide;  we were in Ridgeway, Colorado

There we stopped for a hamburger.

The True Grit Cafe- named after John Wayne’s Movie…

As a little sidebar thought—True Grit, with John Wayne, was filmed on Owl Creek Pass. Just out of Ridgeway!

How cool is that!

We made it home in a nice enough time to load out some more hay.

KAIROS (n):  The perfect, delicate, crucial moment; the fleeting rightness of time and place that creates the opportune atmosphere for action, words, or movement.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

  1. True Grit is as good as movies get. When we go over Owl Creek Pass, we stop and have lunch in the park where the final shoot out happened. Also, How the West Was Won has a scene up there showing Chimney Rock in the background. I love the scenes showing the Uncompahgres and Sneffels Range in True Grit. The scene where Kim Darby is bitten by the rattlesnake is in Mineral Farms, an old group of mining claims SW of Ouray. An old friend had permission from from the owner to go in there so we saw the set where Glen Campbell pulls them up from the mine. I’ve only seen True Grit 50-60 times.
