RANDOM TRAILS - 06/17/09

I know it is kind of hard to tell but there are a bunch of bones in the picture below.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yup, that's a bird's nest.

Here you can see the trail we were following.

Is that what I think it is?

OMG! It is!!!!
NASTY!!!!!

You should have seen all of the vultures/buzzards (whatever they were) feeding on it... there were at least 20 circling above us while we stopped to take pictures.

I thought the above rock formation was neat. Not sure if it has a name or not. Kerri, do you know?

Honestly... I don't know what I was trying to accomplish here. It seemed funny at the time. :-)

I was SOOOO happy to see some live cows at this point...
They didn't seem very happy to see us though.

See the baby?

All in all, it was a day FULL of adventure. :-)

Mmm Mmm Good.

COMBINED CELEBRATION:

Mom's Birthday and Father's Day

OATMAN MASSACRE SITE:

Historical Highlights: In 1851, traveling what later became the Butterfield Stage Route, Royce Oatman was determined to get to California with his wife and 5 children. While struggling with tired oxen to climb the rocky hill east of the marker, they were savagely attacked by Indians. 3 children survived: Olive, age 16; Mary Ann, age 10; and Lorenzo, age 14. Mary Ann and Olive were taken by the Indians. Mary Ann died in captivity but Olive survived to live with the Indians for 5 years. Lorenzo was badly beaten but managed to struggle back to civilization to tell his story. The family was buried 0.3 miles east and slightly north of the massacre site.

Hey look! Dirt....

It gets better, I promise.

We FINALLY made it...

It was a quite sobering experience...


Yeah, not quite sure what this is all about....
It didn't say anything in the book about it.

The fawn filling in spotted donut. :-)

Where did that lizard go?

Maybe it is over here?

After the excitement outside we came back inside to search for more crunchies under the stove...
