Piceance Creek/Sand Wash Basin trip, #2 – 4/12

Continuing our day driving towards Cathedral Bluffs. I’m going to add some photos from other trips that include an area (Tommy’s Draw) that we did not go to on this particular day. If we had continued to the left where we turned right, the following images detail what we would have seen.

Driving down a two-track at Tommy’s Draw.

There’s a cabin at the end of the two-track.

And a spring that the horses can access.

Behind the cabin, you can see the horse (and cow) trail that leads to the spring.

Coming back up the two-track and continuing west and then northwest down another two-track, you come upon these scenes. (Three views of Cathedral Bluffs on different days).

From another trip when we took both my Mom and our friend Jim Westin with us. That’s Tom and Jim (waving). Hey there! 🙂

Tom with my Mom. Love those clouds!

It’s some beautiful country!

If we’d had more time, I would love to have taken Diane to see this view. Okay, back to the current trip.

Diane looking to the east.

Lots of poop on the road. A good sign!

Way out there, we see some dots. Wild horses laying down. Cool!

As we got closer, they stood up to watch us.

Hi guys – 2 bachelor stallions that I recognized from last year.

Here are a few images from the last time I saw these two boys in August of 2011. They were almost in the exact same location, but on the other side of the road.

As Diane and I approached, they made a slight retreat before turning right back around as we clicked away in admiration. 🙂

Taking off again.

See you later guys…great to see you again!
