Bourbon does look like he's dressed up with a bright red bow! It's actually my jacket.
The landscape is extremely interesting here. The terraced paths are actually ripples caused by the ice age and Missoula floods. It's really hard to fathom the water having been as high above the Columbia River as where we were hiking. Here's a good link to some of the landscape history of our area. http://hugefloods.com/ Cattle do graze the hills in the spring and there are some cattle trails. The area burns almost every year due to lightening strikes or sometimes a train spark. The best times to hike it are in the spring and fall. Summer can get really hot. The wildflowers are gorgeous in the spring and early summer.
I plan to make it to the Wild Horse Window next year! This surgery is to repair tears. It should help me buy time before the knee replacement. The orthopedic surgeon couldn't believe I had waited since January when it was injured to have the surgery done and been able to do all of the activity I've done. I'm a tough old goat!
My nephew is into restoration and drives on a track in North Carolina. He is into the handling aspect and "how fast can I go before it doesn't react like I want it to." He had to be certified to rive on the track where he does it. Have fun camping at the track in Vegas. Don't lose all your money gambling!
