Back seat of our car...including the picture from our small group in Az.


Drove through New Mexico on the way to CO.


Jasper sleeping with his head squished between the two front seats.


Second night of camping, quieter vs the night before!

Ramone, worker of many tasks at Arizona Equine, made each intern a horse nose twitch with his crafty skills (a gift before we left early June).


Dr. Leith gave Jill and I some buttons as a kinda joke but practical as we are both going into equine ambulatory practice. The buttons are good for skin suturing stents.


Girl intern mates, Jill and Sarah...and Ramone at good-by party June 8th.



Melissa, tech at Az Equine and good friend at the good-bye party. She had better come to Co to visit!

Tyler took these pics while hiking through the Superstition mts in Apache Junction, approx 45mins from our house in Gilbert, Az. (APRIL) Jasper was of course along for the field trip.

Donkey/horse trains that packed in/out equip for a fee.


Winding up/down the final trail to the end...or beginning.


Stream next to our campground. It was rather crowded and lots of camping traffic.



I'm eating breakfast and trying to reduce the swelling in my pathetic feet! Thought about replacements...
