Cowboys, Cougars, and Prairie Dogs (OH MY!)

On Saturday, we took a trek into the Estrella Mountains. WHAT AN ADVENTURE!





Starting out at the trailhead. Sounds dangerous!




Getting ready to head out. "BA" stands for BAAAAAD Trail.



At the half-way point.


Unbelieveable! We thought we saw some creatures scurrying around on the desert floor, but we weren't sure until we got right up on top of them!




More of these little guys. As you can see, we must have startled the one on the left...





At the summit. I think you can see Wisconsin from here.




As we were making our way back to the car, we nearly became cougar lunch. Thankfully, the cougar had found a tastier snack!!!!!!!

As we left the park we saw some commotion over at the rodeo arena. There were cowboys riding horses and shooting pistols at balloons. All in all, a pretty exciting morning!
