Boot Hill in the winter

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen my original Boot Hill photo; I’ve had it on display in the Bob’s Photo contest before, but I don’t remember having posted it here. I was in the area over the weekend, however, so I took an opportunity to photograph this attraction again…this time with snow.

As I stood in someone’s snowmobile tracks, I was able to get quite a few of these boots in the frame. There are plenty more behind me as well as over the hill and around the corner. It’s pretty cool, not the only fenceposts I’ve seen, but certainly the biggest contiguous bunch of them.

If you want to see this display, merely point your car/truck/whatever northward on Highway 1804. I don’t know how far north it is, because I usually am just holding the accelerator to the floor and watching for deer. You can’t miss it, though…it’s along a quick left-right pair of corners in the road marked 40mph. If you find yourself in Washburn, you went too far!
