Plane Crash in Superstitions

Thanksgiving disrupted by the crash and aftermath. Mountain scared by fire!
6 Dead

Silly Mountain

Located about a mile SW of us, is Silly Mountain, which offers some rocky climbs for the horses, and nice views for the riders. Perhaps the horses enjoy the views?

Digg, from Kansas has been workin with me for two months now, and will head for home on Thursday, leaving me to chore alone! Good grief

Apache Junction

We are here, and very busy...
Buying furniture, building, horse stalling, landscaping, you name it.
Finally the weather is beginning to cool!

The Crew

We are coolin off before heading to AZ, and I want to teach Digg how to SWIM!

Rig Progression

Still busy preparing truck, and trailor for the adventure into the SouthWest.
I will have a 7x8 foot hauling area on my truck bed, with another 4x5 foot area above the cab. My old Dodge 20 years old, only has 100,000 island miles, and I trust will make the SW trip many times..
all to make the young cowgirl HAPPY!
and the old Cowgirl as well...!

Truck Modification

I put this flatbed on my truck, to help me haul MORE to the SouthWest!

Almost there

I am encouraging my 9 year old to stand in the saddle of the 5 year old.
Why not? Life is short.....

Barn Doors

I built five doors to slide around the new barn, two for stalls, two for porch, and one for the hay area...
These are the first to be hung, and may have windows later...

Stump chillin

saw this guy on the drive home
Grabbed the camera, returned, and got a good one...!

My Barn

I have spent most of the summer we are having putting up this new building I call a barn.
It's coming, and my legs are tired of running up and down ladders

Barn Project

Took me a week to get all this lumber up and in place! I am going to like the new space. We don't know if we should call it a barn, or a gymnasium!

Summer Trail RIde

Rode for about three hours today... I am tired, but the girls sure enjoyed themselves

More Horse Pics

We been kickin around the idea of getting some desert property around Apache Junction, and still workin with our horses locally.
Spring has finally sprung, and I am having the best week of horsin around
since returning from my down south trip.
We look at large properties, med, and small, and I am leaning towards the small and cheap! as far as the desert goes!
This week we are dealing with Arizona Bankers, and until they are done with our paperwork, we probably won't be doing anything major!

He needs a name!
