Not much time to write. But here's some pictures.

The other day I drove out again, this time I went up past Adobe Summit north of Elko, toward Wildhorse Reservoir. The snow was melting and little rivulets and seasonal streams were running everywhere. In the bottoms, grass and shrubs were greening up, including the sage. There was also mud everywhere. In one pasture, horses stood in six inches of mud and munches on the green grass. Below is a picture of the Independence Mountains taken from a bridge over a wetland on Highway 225. You probably can't see it, but there is a huge ranch in front of the mountains, up against the hillside.

Below is Wildhorse Reservoir. It's starting to melt and those are the Independence Mountains in the background. I wanted a better vantage point so I climbed some rocks on the side of the highway. You can see my car down below. I wanted to climb the rocks on the other side, but the state park has a fence before them. The rocks are piles of lava rock and basalt, from the volcanic times of the past.

This sunset, taken from the Elko Peace Park, about two blocks from our new house. Spectacular.

Here is a video Stevie shot of Beau cracking up as TK pushes him on a swing.
