While it looks like Shadow is walking through knee-deep snow … well, she is. But her knees aren’t all that far above the ground. She’s really short. 🙂
We do have some drifts that are a little deep-ish still, but our snow is melting quickly under 40-plus-degree temperatures and lots of high-country sunshine.
That said, this photo was taken just minutes after a pelting graupel storm. And this sunlight lasted just minutes before the sun slipped below the ridge, ending another beautiful day in the basin.
Here’s a crazy-cool thing: While hiking into Spring Creek Basin, it was a little shocking and then pretty awesome to see that some horses had used my snowshoe track from a couple of days earlier! How often do you get to break trail for mustangs? 🙂
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
They know a good thing when they see it. A path of love. 🙂
A path of love!!!!!!!!! I *love* that! 🙂 Definitely!
Now that is so cool, breaking trail for the wild ones. Amazing!
It was pretty darn cool to see!
Hi TJ
Great to see the moisture but we need it to dry up a bit by the end of March 🙂 I’m loving AZ. I’ll be back mid Feb and we can make some plans for Kathe’s fence.
It probably will dry up a bit by then, but we NEED all the moisture we can get in this very dry corner of the world! Enjoy your riding in dry Arizona! 🙂
I like this idea – breaking trail for the mustangs! And Prairie girl is right, “a path of love” it is. Snowshoes or snow boots TJ?
Regular hiking boots. Just strap in! 🙂
To clarify: Hiking boots strapped to snowshoes!
lol! Thanks for the clarification!
