Valdez Grain Terminals as seen from Dock Point Trail. Early August 2006

Now I know these are grain silos and not barns. Valdez has grain silos without a farm in sight. Built after the pipeline to hold Delta barley when the deal fell through. The voters of Valdez could have had a ski resort on Sugarloaf Mountain or the grain terminals. The grain terminals meant jobs right away so it won out. Too BAD! The ski resort would have been great in the long run and helped the winter economy.

"The Red Barn"

This barn looks to be in tiptop shape. I like the windows sticking out from the roof. Are those dormers? Old growth trees and new trees provide shade in the summer and a wind break in the winter on this neat farm.



Here is my brother's eloquent comment on the first installment of "Barns od Idaho":

Every man ( and woman ) deep down wants a barn. There is nothing that says more about people being real, than a barn ( or the thought of having one ). Is it the animals? The hay loft ( ooh la la ) Or the fact that they were built by hands ( and friends & neighbors hands ). I think it's all of the above. And when their time is up, people like me will build the coolest furniture out of the past we all dream of. Jimmy of Jimmy's Pirate Pub. Check out his site for the coolest furniture projects.

"Barns of Idaho" Installment 1

This is a series of 17 barn pictures I took when I was outside last fall. I'm calling the series "Barns of Idaho" when some of barns could be in western Montana (off of Hwy 93 and Route 200) and the border of Idaho and eastern Washington (Hwy 95 and Route 6).

Most all of the barn series pictures were snapped from a moving 1989 Fleetwood Bounder. So no story behind them. I just like barn pictures.
