Idaho

26 August 2007

















Once again, in Idaho as well as all these high country states, all you have do is find some good grass and tie your horse to the tree --- even if it's right alongside the road. Just don't forget where you left him. As we approached a curve in the road, after seeing this horse, I commented that it seemed like there was a lot of manure in the road.


Around the curve there was a pick-up truck parked on the shoulder, with a man waving a red flag out the driver's side window. We stopped and asked what was wrong. All he said was, "Sheep up there on the road!"








































You never see dogs working like this on TV. Six dogs and they all knew exactly what they were supposed to do.
























































Of course, when you're the lead dog....you have to oversee the operation.


Begging Donkeys

Saturday 18 August 2007















As we drove from Custer, we found these guys sitting and standing alongside the road.

We learned later that they are called 'the begging donkeys'.





























As you slow down, so as not to hit them, they come closer.


























Can you spot the ass in this picture?










































All the cars stop - donkeys just block the road.








"Hey Mac, whatcha got in there? Any carrots? I got a family to feed."
