Today we went south along the east edge of the park and it was all top land We could look down and see the badlands. It was quite windy and storm clouds were brewing so we came back rather early. Today I got help from Les with my GPS tracker. He has an identical one. I learned how to set it to track the day. I am learning!
Jet has been amazing. Just steps right out. Very well mannered and willing. I am his buddy.
July 4 we rode to the Red Rocks. The natives ground the red ochre up and mixed it with grease for face and horse paint. Gorgeous red rocks. Saw many many tepee rings and medicine wheels. Lots of history in this area I could feel it. Apparently there are thousands of them in the park. What sacred land...
Wednesday is always a pig roast at Canopus- a very small spot on the map near the park. About 150-200 people come from far and wide. Very nice gathering. Got a ride with Bob, Pat and Shannon. I went to Shannon's house nearby and used the phone to call Dallas to ask if I could camp out at his place Friday night. He said "By all means!" Lee and I met Dallas and Wayne at the rodeo last year and they came to Lee's service. What a nice connection!.
