Where the deer and the antelope (plus wild horses) play




Today was great. I stayed off of the bike all day long, but we used Jose's new ride (the silver horse) and went roaming. Our morning began right behind the hotel. There is a canyon that is full of wild horses! We stayed at a hotel behind Wild Horse Mountain. We saw lots of them! I was amazed as we had seen a few from a distance in New Mexico, but nothing like this! They were everywhere! If you look closely, you may be able to see the snow covered mountains in the background. Then we went to Flaming Gorge Recreational Area. We saw some incredible rock structures, including a petrified tree. Our hope was to see big horn sheep, elk or moose. We did not see that, but we were able to see tons of deer and antelope. One particular time we had stopped to see the antelope. One crawled over through the fence (yes, through) and then headed straight for me. Rather than stop, I continued to click the camera. It was amazing. While this trip has been full of surprises (both good and bad), had Jose not gotten ill, we would have never seen the things we did today. God works in amazing ways!

I hope Jose is feeling better now. I gess that was a bit scary for both of you. Keep enjoying the road wherever or however it leads.
