Monday

So where do you eat on Mother's Day? Well, I guess when you live 100 miles from the nearest McDonald's, that sounds kind of appealing. Barrie and Kasey and I had lunch at the McDonald's in Rock Springs. Maybe the playground had something to do with our decision.

After we ate, we probably spent an hour watching Kasey climbing on the structures in the playroom. What a kick. She was very hesitant at first, but soon got pretty brave. When she got scared, Barrie talked her through it. Barrie didn't want to have to climb up and rescue her. We stretched the "just one more time" into several.

I didn't even have my compact camera with me, just the "big gun." So didn't get any pictures.


Another picture of the herd stud. Still can't decide if he's a roan or just all scarred up. Maybe both.

And two more pictures of the foal. She was so cute!

We drove by a place where there were literally hundreds of ravens and a turkey vulture. Obviously there was something dead out there, but we didn't stop to explore and see what they were feeding on. Kasey said, very matter-of-factly, "It's a dead horse."

This is the Hampton Inn in Green River. It's located where the Pilot Butte Road comes to the Intersate. Pilot Butte was the road we traveled from Highway 191 from north of Rock Springs across the top of White Mountain. Location, location, location.
