Bright sunny day, forecast for 77° so we went back south near where we went a couple days ago. this time we parked as far down the road as we could so we would be able to go farther along a different fork of the road. The first mile was identical to FR 663 two days ago, then we took a right instead of left at the fork in the road. Ended up being a 5.25 mile hike up to 5000’ elevation. Several new views, no javelina but I did see a rabbit. Or at least a rabbit’s tail a few times. I have a video of where it was, but he even hid from the camera while running. Even in this sparse countryside they can hide pretty well.
Up farther we came by a couple of water tanks with cattle troughs. Skye often wants to take a dip. I’m sure the ranchers would prefer she didn’t. And some are heavy with algae that we really do not want her swimming in. We had one of each today, and she did take a dip in one. We didn’t see it but she came back to us all happy, smiling and wet legs. It was shallow.
Apparently there are some deer here
If you look in the shadow, center screen, you’ll see that Skye has figured out about staying a bit cooler on these warm days.
There weren’t any glaciers here to place these rocks. So I wonder how it came to rest like this!
A relaxing drink
