Those patches of snow are gone, though damp spots on the earth still linger in shady places. The snow on the La Sals is rapidly fading to the grey of the rock below as the sun shines relentlessly down during this winter of discontent.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the passing of a beloved friend, Pati Temple. Even as we continue to mourn her loss, we celebrate her life and the shining light she was to all creatures, especially Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs.

Everyone who ever knew Patti misses her. Will never forget her devotion to, and work for, all the wild beauties that TJ watches over.
Pati was a force of nature … a force FOR nature. š I miss her terribly. … I’m so glad to have known her.
