Wild mustangs ...
Oh, man, my trip was AWESOME. The Eastern Sierras in CA are lovely - high chaparral, very sparsely populated, wide open and empty. My kinda place. Being on horseback for 4 days was nowhere near as physically grueling as I expected it to be, although we were both a little sore in the pants. LOL. The weather was wild - snow, rain, and hail EVERY day. But as corny as it sounds, it was more of an adventure that way. We never did end up finding any wild mustangs - they fled the storm in the opposite direction - but we did find their tracks and manure piles and as strange as it sounds Bran and I didn't really care. It was just so amazing to be out in that country on horseback the whole time.
In camp, we had someone to cook and clean for us, and lend Bran his $700 high altitude jacket when she was freezing. We found obsidian arrowheads, saw cougar tracks, a snake, and one measly little mule deer. I don't have all my pics back yet, but here are a few behind the cut. I didn't include one of myself because all the ones I have make me look like a scary Russian peasant woman, complete with horrid babushka. Bran and I look a lot alike, with the caveat that I'm older, fatter, and not as pretty. :-)
In other news, I'm off work for another week because of my health "issue", which would be great if #1 I felt better and #2 I was actually getting paid for the time off. Oh well, such is life. Still, I am grateful to be able to enjoy my home, various critters, and my INTERNET CONNECTION in the meantime. And since the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
amplificathon ends on Monday, I'll be able to record a few more! Because, you know, the world can never have enough of my blatherings ...
Last but not least, clicky here for a FREE album by Empires. It rocks. :-)

First hour on the ride ...
Bran and "Buddy" ...
Trying not to freeze to death as we waited out the 'blizzard' ...
Taken as I gawked at the scenery ...
