The Colorado to Wyoming Mustang Ride, Heading out on the Trail.

Sheep Crick ranch for Top

This was written about 40 hours ago;     We arrived at our launching point, and on preparing to ride out as I write this post.  Located in beautiful upper Cherokee Park 8500ft,, the 350 acres of the Dear Creek Ranch is a site to behold.   Our gracious hosts, Steve and Sherri GulleySteve and Sherri Gully, Owners of the Sheep Crick Ranch made this adventureIMG_7032_139compressed possible by providing our starting, or jumping off point.  We will be heading west on our horses and wagon towards 4 Corners.  We will be passing through a Buffalo ranch, so look forward to some Buffalo photos, if Happy (my horse) will get me close enough.  IMG_7056_117compressed After a Chili Supper, and Campfire stories, it was early to bed with the Sunset.  It will be an early and busy start. 

With Breakfast served it off to work  Today’s preparations
IMG_7105_251compressed include rigging the Wagon, and finishing our horses, ensuring that they will be OK around the Wagon and the equipment we will be carrying on them.   Our departure time is estimated as when we leave.  IMG_7090_092compressed

As on the trail we will have limited phone service, and what we do get will not be the best, so you may not here from us again … for at least a few days.  I am however yet faithful we will get a signal and get connected and I will be able to upload this post. 
Wish me luck.

Below, a few of the photos from Sheep Creek Ranch.
