Thoughts of Home

Thoughts of Home

Leaving Death Valley I came across a pair of coyotes. One was on the left, and the other on the right. They could not reach each other for the traffic, but eventually, the one on the left made it safely across. It’s so beautiful out here, but a big part of me just wants to go home. And then there are days where I just want to drive. To see the highway unfurling itself in front of me for miles…

Saline Valley Warm Springs

I left Prescott, heartbroken. Weeks later now and I still am. I miss my little Pugsly.

Catching up – Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion

We left Kodachrome with a promise to myself that I’ll go back again at some point. It’s so lovely and there were other hikes I wanted to do, but the rain made for seriously mushy ground. When we were at the ranch, Argos was very excited about the horses. He is still very interested in cattle. At some point, Argos jumped into the front seat with Pugsly and decided he wanted to ride up front too. Pugsly didn’t seem bothered…
