Today I headed west out onto the desert. I wanted a photo that said "out west" to me. I can't think of anyplace better to get that feeling than the old Pony Express route. So I headed out on the trail looking for wild horses, pronghorn antelope or something to make my photo. I decided the Pony Express Trail told its own story with a thunder shower rolling in across the valley.

This is Five Mile Pass. The thunder storm in the distance put down almost three inches of rain. In a normal year this area gets about 10 inches of moisture.


Another shot from the Trail looking west...a few cattle on the open range.


I didn't find any wild horses today; but, I did find a little Pronghorn Antelope Buck. He is looking a little rough because he is shedding his winter coat.
