Fairchild Dam

Papa and I hiked to Fairchild Dam on Sunday morning.  We enjoy that hike, as it is uphill toward the dam and downhill on the way back.  Once we're close, we cross a grassy meadow before climbing through rocks to get to the dam.  Fairchild Dam was built in the 1950's in a spot that is surrounded by rocks, not an easy spot to get materials to build the dam!  On Sunday, there were lots of first year heifer cows enjoying the meadow until we arrived.  Then we became their fascination.  They were so gentle that they came toward us and followed us for a bit.
