Wow. What a trip. You must have had a ball. Good on you for taking your son out like that!

Great pictures I am Green with envy. Nice dog. Austrailian Cattle Dog?

Yup, you got it. She is a Red Heeler. How did a New Joisey boy know that?

Great pics,you looked like you had a great time !!!
My only question.....why pitch the tent in the middle of all those cacti.....didn't it make those nightime toilet trips awkward?

The reason we pitched the tent there was for security. That area is notorious for border ruffians, smugglers and illegals.
The tent could only be seen if you were within 10 or 15 yards.

Edit to add: I use a pee bottle on cold nights

Nice dog, and I really like that saddle you (the father) have.

Thanks, she has been a great dog so far, very smart and a great companion. Good watchdog too.

My saddle is one of my prized possessions. I had it custom made for me when I was cowboyin full time in the 80s.
