lindyluwho, fun photo - looks like a good time:-) socks12345 - my late grandfather's friend lives in the park, too, and has a granddaughter that's supposed to be involved with the SPCA here. She's coming to visit him tomorrow, and we're supposed to meet. It might be a bit before she can foster her, though. I think we'll wind up seeing if she can be with our dogs for now, so at least she'll be enclosed. Our dogs are small, but still at least 2x's as big as she is... She's so funny looking and cute, and wants to be loved so very desperately. She'll make someone a great little house dog, and be their shadow, I think:-) She will need training, but she's smart and young. P.S. The same thing happens to loose dogs here. In all the many places we've lived, we've never seen as many strays as here:-(

Bigack-What year was that? One of my babies had a carrier like that only in yellow but I can't remember which one.LOL Your son was adorable! Are the diaper pins little duckies? LOL

Love those ponies, love those burros! Here's more from Death Valley, site of the borax processing plant from the 1880's when it was mined there. The borax had to be boiled to be processed. (Like you need something boiling in Death Valley! LOL!) Here's one of the wagons the 20 mules pulled to haul the borax out of Death Valley. Borax is no longer mined there.

Not as spectacular as Monis, but a cairn marking Florence Pass; 11,000 feet and some change. Ron
