Yesterday we decided to take a drive into the mountains south of town where I've wanted to go since moving to Idaho, the Owyhee Mountains. There are some old silver mines up there and in fact, there is an old town, a semi-ghost town, named Silver City. We were hoping to make it all the way to the town, but due to the driving conditions and our late start, we stopped probably a couple miles from our destination, but it gives us an excuse to go back. (I would have felt better about driving the narrow snow covered mountain roads if I had chains on - note to self.............)
Here are a couple photos from the mountains with our dog. We've taken him to a couple of obediance classes sicne we got him from the shelter, and I've been working with him every day so it sinks in. He seems to be getting it and actually sat still for the photos! The first one is from yesterday morning in the field by our house.
I'm not sure if he had ever seen snow before, but he loved it. He went diving head first into the snow and spent a good part of the time up there with snow on his face.
The weather in the valley was in the mid forties, with rain / snow in the mountains to the north. When we got to the top of where we were going, it started snowing a bit, offering some intersting lighting contrasts. The photos don't do it justice. I loved the weathered rocks on the mountain. Some looked like "Jenga" stacks that could be just pushed over.
Here's some pictures of the Wauseon steel I had with me in the truck. I would have taken more photos with the other (Busse) knives, but my daughter was giving me a hard time enough as it was....(can you hear it .....Oh my gawd.....again?!).
I think the dog enjoyed himself. It was a bit cool, being in the mid twenties with a bit of a breeze, but there were lots of tracks and scents for him to chase.
I loved this shot. Just wish my camera could have picked up the contrasts a little better.
Enjoy

If only I could convince Dwayne the cold isn't that bad.

Similar to how yours loved it. Dancin', diggin', runnin' around, snow on face...
