Kobae Hiking

Pretty much every evening Kobae goes for two to four hours hiking.

Evening

To Dream the Impossible Dream

From the Amasa Back

Spanish petroglyph. Hard to make out but once you have the helmet, saddle, and horse of the Conquistador are visible. The Lodge. Far in the distance up the hill to the left from the widest spot in the river. The La Sal mountains in the furthest background, the area called Behind the Rocks with it's countless fins.

Fire Pit

After playing on the edge the day before Kobae is being a little more cautious today and just hiking around the lodge.

Final Straw

I'm putting all the rock squirrels on group Jenny Craig plan. You might have to click on the pictures to make them larger but now even when a small to mid size hawk like the Sharp-shinned visits the rock squirrels are just mildly amused. A. They know they can take the Sharp-shinned, B. They know that even if the Sharp-shinned catches them off guard (meaning awake) it won't be able to get off the ground with them.

Kobae's Luck Runs Out

Kobae is always walking along the side of the creek with ten foot overhangs ready to collapse. I always warn him in a high pitch voice that he's playing with fire and I can see he stops when he hears that to think about it. Usually he looks over the edge and ignores me. Today was no different except this time his luck ran out.
