Pink Mountains Majesty


 We like to go riding early in the morning.  The mountains that catch the sunrise turn a beautiful pink.  We also see a lot of wildlife when we are out early.  We have seen so many turkeys.  I will try to get a picture of the big toms -- they are bigggg.  We see lots of mule deer like the picture.  They look funny when they run because they kind of look like they are jumping more than running.  We have seen lots of white tail deer also.  The strange birds we have seen trying to cross the busy highway are chukars.  They are game birds like grouse but they have quail like markings on their face.  

It finally rained here and cooled off a little.  It might rain some more tomorrow and clear the haze out of the air from the fires.  There were a lot of fires going in Utah but they seem to be getting most of them put out finally.  The rain should help finish the job.  We are planning to get out and pan for gold in a nearby creek.  We found a tiny speck in the creek the last time we tried so we have some hope that we might find a few flakes.
