It’s been a while since I posted here. Life has been so busy. I have been transported for the DWR in our state, plus getting more involved in the Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Price, Utah. Never realized how much my time would be taken up by transporting when I started.

My husband retired back in March and we decided to move closer to Price. Well, several house viewings later and a couple of offers, we are still trying to more. The house we got our offer accepted on has had many issues crop up as the VA required inspections for pest and for mold and water damage. Renters had flooded the basement several times and there is now black mold growing somewhere so we are waiting for the remediation to finish to find out if the owner is going to pay for the removal of the mold. If they don’t, they will have a house they can’t rent or sell so I really hope they agree to paying for it. In the meantime, I have kept busy packing up our stuff, mostly my quilt room, and transporting. I’m also busy doing bird photography. The birds here in Utah are really awe inspiring!

A couple weekends ago, I took a trip with my girlfriend, Delores, to the Northern Railroad station in Ely, Nevada, to meet up with Dirt the cat and to ride the railroad. It was a great day! Dirt was wonderful and the wild horses we saw were beautiful!

We also drove through the Fish Spring Wildlife refuge and saw a number of wild horses on the way home from there. The sun was just starting to set and the light was not the best but we loved how beautiful they were. Unfortunately, in August, the BLM and our state officials are pushing to remove 2/3 of the herd from the west desert of Utah on the premise that they are ruining the land. However, we that have been involved in this for a while know that it’s for oil exploration and for more cattle and sheep to be put out on the same range. Our government needs to have a wake up call. Joe Q Public is not being told the real story nor is it being told right in the newspapers. A sad day in Utah when we put big money before the icons of the West.
