Cowgirls and Cows


Still sharing pictures from New Mexico.  We got to watch a cowboy shoot.  The cowgirl was the fastest shooter there.  When we took a drive out through the desert we came across lots of cattle grazing.  Its hard to believe that they can graze on this dead looking desert grass and survive.  Desert grass is highly nutritious so even though it looks dead and worthless the cattle get a lot out of it. 

We got to see lots of cows coming across Kansas and Nebraska.  We spent three long days in Kansas waiting for the snow to be done and then the roads to be ice free.  We had about an inch of snow and ice on top of our slideouts that froze in place.  Jim had to get up on the roof and scrape it off so we could put in the slides so we could leave.  We don't own a ice scraper any more so I handed him a spatula and a broom and he was able to get it off pretty quickly.   We stopped in Sioux Falls, SD for two days and got new drivers licenses and picked up our mail.  We are now in Minnesota and with more weather on the way we are heading up to the resort a day earlier than planned so we don't have to worry about driving in rain possibly snow.   I'm sure the next pictures I post will be of snow and ice up at the resort.
