Nothin' but blue skies do I see!
History is made! We went camping and riding, and we did NOT get wet! Li'l Miss Sunshine overpowered Black Cloud! Haha!

Friday afternoon, we set up the camper in the Pryor Mountains. Acting on a tip from a co-worker, we went searching for the wild horses in a different spot than the areas where we have seen them before. We didn't find the horses (we probably didn't go far enough as daylight was going to run out on us), but we did finally make it to the Big Ice Cave. It was a neat place, but also dark and just a little bit eerie. Definitely not a place where I would want to spend any time alone! Away from the cave and back on the trail, we broke out of the trees onto the sunny plateau. Now we were looking across the valley over at the plateau where we usually ride. We beat the dark back to the camper and were treated to a beautiful sunset.

| C'mon in! |
Our time was limited on Saturday, so we stuck closer to the camper. Even though we were back in familiar territory, we did find a few new roads. We came upon an old building previously unknown to us, and we ran another road to the point where it became a hiking trail with an intriguing name -- Crater Ice Cave Trail #31. We decided to save the hike for a warmer day (and maybe do a little research first), and returned to the main road. We got back to the camper in time for lunch and even a little shooting before packing up and returning to civilization.

We enjoyed all those pictures! Which one were you thinking of? Did you 'come on in'?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of the sunset. Dan went up to the door and shined his flashlight in, but some critter in there didn't think much of that!
