Aerial Tramway

This post is not for those afraid of heights.....

well Just kidding..... Sorta....

We took a little adventure up the Aerial Tram ... and oh man! The views!! and the wind!!

It was spectacular!

First we took the tram to the top

So cool! and you meet people from all over the world

Isn't that a cool view?

I can imagine in the olden days the guys with the mules trekking to the top of the mountains and seeing this....

And then of course....

The views!

It was a pretty fun little trip! And  we even stopped at a little Irish bar.... and had a soda!! ha ha

Great Escape Mustang Sanctuary

I really love this Great State that I live in!! I love exploring all that there is to do..... and so

We took an adventure to:

The Great Escape Mustang Sanctuary

It was pretty cool!!

First we took a tour of their ranch facilities, and saw the horses in action. Some of the Mustangs are being gentled for Adoption, or have been adopted, and these trainers are working with them.

Or - as is the case here, one of the wild mustangs gathered was pregnant and they were awaiting the birth of this little beauty::

Isn't she just the cutest?  We wanted her!! she is only one month old - and so adorable.

After the Headquarters tour we headed out to the sanctuary - and oh man - is was so cool. You all may know I sort of love horses, and there were 25 or so of them - lotta love for me!!

This guy wanted a treat - he came really close to us.

 

and then - these two 

They did not want to be left out 

they saw all the commotion and came running

and check out the 'do on this one!

Is that not comical???

They roam on an over 800acre pasture and are so content

This is Milk Chocolate

Dark Chocolate

and White Chocolate

I named them....

I am sure it will stick!!

( right???)

 The one on the left

Looks just like my Brother in laws horse

It was kinda wierd.....

They have an old windmill

it used to pump water until the created a pond

But I liked it!

and then!

As a part of my Photo Challenge Group

we were supposed to take a High Key photo

So I experimented with this barn

I think I got pretty close to the description of High key

This is their logo

I don't know 

there is just something about watching horses move that is just mesmerizing

All in All it was a great Adventure

This place is run by all donations

the land was purchased by the owners father with the intent of helping

provide a sanctuary for these mustangs that aren't really adoptable,

and to help the other Mustangs get adopted out to loving homes

and now I want one.... or six.... six would be good, I could get them in all colors and have a horse rainbow!!!  and.... maybe the baby - ya.... the baby

Wrangler Man sort of threw me in the car and locked the doors.....

I just don't know why???

More from the mountains...

It has been so hot here in the afternoon that all I want to do is dream about

heading back to the Mountains....

So instead - I play with my photos

( and still dream)

My son and I had a blast on the weekend

and you know that each day I take maybe 1000 photos

so .... just a warnning...

There may be more

We had pretty late snows this year too 

so that tops were really pretty

and this mountain wasn't even one of the tallest

That will be another post

because - yes - we made it to tree line!

I swear - If I could make a living as a photographer/hiker

I would never come to town...

My husband is now ready to go camping
