This weekend we did another whirlwind trip in search of ranch land. This one shows a great deal of promise.

Yes, yes, I know there's more to a ranch than beautiful scenery, but I just can't get past the rocks! This place is rich in history and I could hike it for hours. So can the dogs . . .

It was like being in a state park with no leash laws!

It has everything we want except a water well. The ranches around it have water wells, so God willing, we'll be able to find well water here too. I'd rather not drink out of the stock tanks or the creek. I'm a little fussy about my drinking water . . .

"Gee Ma, what's wrong with drinkin' out of the creek?"

The toughness of a dog's digestive system contantly amazes me. What they can eat and drink with no side-effects is astounding. Many times I have shuddered at the "delicacies" mine have scarfed down (while I am yelling "No, drop it!).

The scenery, especially the rocks, remind of some of the areas along the Verde River north of Phoenix. Dog's are amazing. They'll eat stuff that would make a vulture vomit...and the only upset they feel is their upset feelings because we won't let them lick our faces right after their "meal". :-)

can I come live with you after you buy the place? I will happily haul and boil water. The scenery is toooooo gorgeous!

Oh pul-lease! Carolynn, you live in one of the most beautiful places in the country! I just love those shots of your dogs playing in the river. Your pics make me want to sell everything and move to the northwest!

Hey as long as you are shopping, shop in my area! Then we can play dogs, and sheep and horses together. What the hell.

I agree the scenery is gorgeous! It "might" convince me to come visit. It would probably have to be in the winter though -- I DON'T LIKE HOT WEATHER! LOL
