The following are Dudley's best memories of yesterday's (failed) trailblazing attempt to reach the green mountain meadow of Burnam Flat from the base of the Owyhee mountains:
It was all uphill! (until we turned around).
It was hot for a fat horse.
Juniper trees are nice until they turn into a dark jungle, and start closing in on a great big claustrophobic horse.
"Oof! Ouch! Argh! Ack!" - my rider's noises and stunt riding, throwing herself flat on my neck, almost hanging off my sides, as I bulled my way through many overgrown trees on a very old, faint, fading, gone, trail.
The Honeymoon Cabin!
Lots and lots of horse edibles: green grass, brown grass, flowers, weeds, junipers, willows, etc. I sampled everything I could get my mouth on.
The box canyon and nowhere to go after all that climbing!
My rider hugging a juniper tree.
After all that effort and no green mountain meadow to picnic on, do my dimples look any smaller??
