phone booth
Posted: August 24, 2014 Filed under: horses | Tags: horses, phone calls, wyoming 24 CommentsWhen you’re in a mountain valley with no line of sight to cell towers, how does one make a phone call? Head up to the phone-booth.
You can ride up on the mountain bike, or take the car, or go natural. But a one horse powered vehicle is a pretty good way to mix technologies.
Here’s hoping you can sometimes un-plug.
blacktooth and pinks – wyoming treasures
Posted: August 17, 2014 Filed under: travel, wyoming | Tags: big horn mountains, blacktooth peak, pinks, wyoming 8 CommentsBack down from the mountain, a couple more images linger. It’s hard to describe the mountain vistas, or the beauty of the flowers and I am loathe to let them go just yet.
Many mountain flowers are small and subtle, but pinks are small and brilliant
As the seasons move toward winter the colors move to brown and grey, here Blacktooth Peak sits atop it’s royal robes.
After one last view, it was time to return.
the lead view – horses
Posted: August 6, 2014 Filed under: horses, travel, wyoming | Tags: big horn mountains, horses, the view, travel, wyoming 11 CommentsThey say that the lead view is best, and on a horse I can agree with that.
But the view from behind can be pretty good too.
It matters where you are.
May you always take time to see the view.

darkest night
Posted: August 31, 2013 Filed under: travel, wyoming | Tags: awe, big horn mountains, direction, hope, meteor, night sky, travel, wyoming 18 CommentsWhen night is darkest and hope a crutch that others lean upon, cast your eyes up. Often new things are revealed when we least expect them.
The night sky outside our cabin in Wyoming. It continually teaches me the meaning of “awe”
May there be wonders in your life.
doers and watchers
Posted: August 20, 2013 Filed under: Devil's Tower, pearls of wisdom, travel, Uncategorized, wyoming | Tags: choosing, climbers, devil's tower, doers, dreamers, prairie dogs, travel, watchers, wyoming 30 CommentsWe stopped at Devil’s Tower on the way home. The extruded magma from a long ago volcano stands a proud challenge to the surroundings, a holy place to the Native Americans, and a Mecca to climbers.
My daughter and I scrambled across boulders near the technical climbing area. It was hot tiring work, but nothing like the climbers faced. Afterwards I thought how life divides us into doers and watchers. Can you find the inspiring doers in the picture below?
How about the watcher, another famous feature of Devil’s Tower, can you recognize the Prairie Dog?
Life can be tough when you’re little and tasty and there’s eagles and coyotes about.
I think that sometimes we become watchers or doers at the wrong times for improper reasons. There’s a time for both, but if we want to realize our dreams we must ensure that fear doesn’t stop us from doing when the time is right.
May you dare to do.
far off places

When it stops we will have had our money’s worth.
The Saddles are clean…
The Riding done…
the last smiles tucked away…
then we return and I wonder why I don’t live here and vacation back there…
Yellowstone – travel
Posted: August 14, 2013 Filed under: travel, wyoming, yellowstone park | Tags: beauty, buffalo, geysers, travel, wild animals, wyoming, yellowstone national park 22 CommentsOne of my favorite places of mountains, water, trees and sky. And of course animals, this trip we saw elk, buffalo, a bald eagle, deer, marmots, moose. We took a whirlwind one day visit from our cabin near Sheridan Wyoming.
