Vail, Colorado Daily Photo - Christmas Day Hay Barn

Brush Creek Hay Barn

Vail, Colorado Daily Photo - Christmas Day Hay Barn -

Just about 10 miles up Brush Creek, a little past Adam's Rib Ranch, but not quite all the way to Sylvan Lake, sits this rustic hay barn.  I have the opportunity to dirve by this old barn once or twice a year.  Every time I do I wonder about the human drama it has witnessed for about 100 years or so.  It never seems to change - nor does it ever stay the same.  For instance, the log farm house up on the hill behind the barn....it's not there any more.  Must have burned down over the summer.
