Our neighbors up the road



After going to farmers' market this morning and do some other errands, we had lunch with a friend at the Absolute Bakery in Mancos. 

On the way home, we swung up Road 40 and decided to see what, if any, development has been done on the two Mancos Valley FLDS properties. It had been over a month since I was up there with the two TV crews, and I might not be able to go up there for months.

So, off we went, stopping by Joe Moore Reservoir to see the Saturday recreational activities (top pic).  Lots of shore fisherfolk, a few boaters, some campers.

The main FLDS development seems to be the very large, tilled and seeded (?) garden area that has been created at the south end of the field on the east side of the property. It was just outlined last time I was by there. There is also what appears to be a root cellar dug into the hilltop just south of the original house on the property. 

The two riding horses are back for the third summer that I know of. Otherwise, pretty quiet. I have yet to see or hear a woman or a child around that place. tv
