| Sorry no photo yet but, Rex, after his 10 mile lonely stretch across the flats near Carson Lake south of Fallon, NV ( said he was being tracked by some kind of critter), hands the mail off to me at approx 5:15 am. My Arabian mare was anxious to go after being in and around the trailer all night so she tries to go up the pass at a full gallop but needs to take a couple of breathers, the run down to the Geo thermo plant was real fun and I thank the unknown gentleman and his son who had opened the gate for me at the top of the pass which saved me some time. beautiful time in the desert that time of morning it is just you and the horse as there is not an easy way for the support crew to follow out there. By the way both Rex and I lost our hats out there so if you if you hear anyone in Fallon finding a baseball cap or cowboy hat blowing in on the wind some day let us know!! |
