More Horsin' Around

Today was warm enough outside to do a little OHV driving in the Jeep.

It's about 52° outside, which helped to dry the roads that got saturated during last week's rains and snow.

I decided to stop and give some four-legged neighbors some carrot treats.

The first stop was next door to the gelding. He's still leery about people, but he'll come around in time.

Next, I headed down the hill near the fire station to where Christmas is penned. Before giving Christmas her carrots, I went across the road to where a couple of horses live. I gave them some carrots. They're as tame as Christmas and came right up to me, even though this was the first time I gave them carrots.

When I was done there, I walked across the road to Christmas's yard and fed her.

After this, drove to the gate to Six Mile Canyon/Cibola National Forest. Big ruts were cut into Six Mile Canyon road and some of the road was washed out from a culvert that goes under Interstate 40. The Jeep was able to handle it all.

While I was out, I stopped at the Flying J and got myself a cinnamon roll at Cinnabon. I took a break to eat the roll. Once done, I went out again.

If I am to do any OHV driving in Six Mile Canyon, I'd better do it this coming week as we only have 8 more days before it is closed for the winter on December 15.
