This is why I mountain bike (well, and because I love to mountain bike) – to stay in shape to track mustangs. 🙂
Add a couple to a few inches of snow to that 5.62 miles, and 1,116 calories burned seems pretty measly. The temperature is a bit skewed because I carried the GPS in an inner jacket pocket; I don’t think the temp rose out of the 20s.
The green tag shows where I started: on Spring Creek Basin’s boundary along Disappointment Road. From there, I hiked north, then to the northwest. The farthest northwest point is the point at which I realized horses were waaaay over at that easternmost point. (Of course!) So I backtracked my tracks, then followed horse trails and avoided arroyos, heading southeastish, to the little flat loop – which is where the horses were.
The ziggy-zaggy line is where I walked (this was all on snowshoes) the bottom of an arroyo until I cut my original trail and followed it back to the Jeep.
Seeing this handsome youngster (Killian) makes it alllllllll worth it!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
amazing girl.
Merry Christmas
Well, no going to the gym for you! I am always amazed at the distance you hike!
Good thing you got to see some horses on the trek. Always a blessing.
Just carving another (odd-shaped) heart in the basin… And of course those 5.62 miles were not, like, flat. Many ups and downs in the life of a mustang girl!
You’re amazing TJ. 🙂
I love that! “Carving another heart in the basin”!
I’m impressed, TJ…and a bit jealous too! And Killian in all his “hunkiness” was well worth the effort to be sure – for both you and us! 🙂
Walking a place is the best way to walk that place into your heart and soul. As many trails as I know, there are always new ones to discover. The best thing in Spring Creek Basin is that all paths lead to mustangs. 🙂
