Went exploring yesterday in our "back yard"

[Raspy]

Went for a spin with the dogs and went about 30 miles through the Pine Nut mountains. Up to about 9,000' It's finally getting nice out, but too soon for most of the greenery.

We were looking for a lost trail connecting two canyons.

We often see wild Mustangs, but not this trip, so I included a pic from a previous trip.

Very nice...

The black dog you have there, what kind is it? My dog looked identical when he was about that age.

scoops,

We don't know anymore than a terrier mix of some kind. She's a rescue dog. The best dog I've ever had.

Where is this near? Elko, Winnemucca? Looks loike countryside I have see near Winnemucca. But also looks like the area outside of Topaz, heading to Bridgeport.

Robert,

It's northeast of Topaz Lake about 20 miles as the crow flies. Oreana Peak.

Love it out here.

Looks like there is a lot of Jack Russel Terrier in that dog. I have one and he is a great dog shadows me where ever I go.

When I used to get out to Nevada on business I would take the rental car and explore the paved roads. The dirt roads were such a temptation :thumbsup: I always wanted to explore and find out what was "down that road" :laughing:

Beautiful, well fed horse!

Thanks for sharing.

Your little coyote friend is looking pretty good, he's really growing up fast. What's the latest on him, he looks pretty comfy in the jeep.

kiotiken,

That little dog is growing like a weed! Settling in with a routine of behavior like the other dogs. Up in the morning and needs some exercise. Breakfast. Then some time with us to connect. Chew a few things up. A nap. Romp around with the other dogs, etc. She's not the Alpha dog at this point.

Here's a few more pictures of the Mustangs I took recently up in the mountains. It's always a beautiful find. Riding along, come up over a rise and find them. So natural and free. Absolutely in their element. The Stallion snorts and puts himself between us and his family, the colt stands near mom. They'll let us get pretty close and then wander off.

Wow, those mustangs look so fat and healthy! I am surprised that they do so well on the sparse vegetation.

They can choose a variety of vegetation from damp grass to dry sagebrush. This particular area seems to be just right.

I marvel at them getting through the winter with snow at 8,500-9,000' where we see them most.

They do seem well fed.

 

[RobertBrown]

Great!
That looks like the polar opposite of what we have here, yet we still have coyotes, lots of em.

Makes me thirsty :thumbsup:

John at least you are getting closer to having your place in the mountains done, before long you won't have make that drive back. Bei Bei and Sandy look content to look out the window and take in the sights.
Beautiful country up there for sure.
