First North Dakota Snow of 2008

As David and I are preparing to travel 460 miles to hunt geese in Saskatchewan, mother nature sprang a little travel surprise on us. The first snow of the year arrived on the very morning we were to depart. A foot or more of heavy, wet snow!!! It turned what should have been a 6.5 hour drive into a 11 hour white knuckle adventure. But we eventually made it alive.

Little Bighorn

On our return trip from Bozeman, we stopped by Little Bighorn National Park. For anyone interested in history, this battle is the 2nd most written about in American history. (The most written about and studied is Gettysberg.) It is quite remarkable how Hollywood and the PC groups have distorted the entire account of Custer and Little Bighorn. This battle was a clash of cultures and must be viewed in its historical context. History in neither right nor wrong, it is just history. What happened and when.
As the story goes, Custer's last instructions before leaving North Dakota was "don't do anything until I get back from Montana". Rumor is we haven't!

North Dakota's response to Montana: "He was alive and well when he left here."

Rocky Mountains

Last week I was in Bozeman, Montana for training on Equine Assisted Therapy. I got the chance to visit Yellowstone and a couple other sites near Bozeman. I really can't say anything other than to let the pictures speak for themselves

Just a side note: I am being forced to go back for another week in August!!! Boy that sucks!

New Foals

Here are some pictures of our new foals. These guys are from Sperry (www.sperryhorses.com) stock and are very sought after. We will begin socialization shortly and eventually the natural training process. But right now, they are just too cool!!!

North Dakota Rainbow

We had a few showers a couple of days ago, leaving everything smelling fresh and looking green, except for our skies. Take a look, even though my cheap camera does it a disservice.
