I'm not good at using my phone for these boards, but that's where my pics are. My field crew is getting around on ATV, I am horseback. The temps been about 100, rain each evening, hail once. The arroyo I work along has actually ran water twice from thunderstorms in the mountains 40 or 50 miles distant. A place up the road, no house, is selling for $140k, 175 acres, and they r nuts. I'll post a few pics, and try for a video or two also.

That's called refueling the vehicle.

Monty I sort of envy your horse riding. Certainly must be a peaceful way to travel.

Re posting and images. Do you have an image resize application? I'm Android and use "Image Resizer".
Works very well and allows multiple image selection.

Posting from phones is fiddly at best of times, worse with big fingers.
I don't use Tapatalk, never found it beneficial. Just tell web pages to use PC settings.

I trust your horses are well trained.
Had a rural job where I setup on road side of a fence, headed off to next station, was sighting back only to see a horse reach across the fence and bight the target lifting it off the ground. Didn't taste good so it dropped it. Fortunately no damage to tribrach or legs.

I pretty sure that I can answer for Monte and assure you those photos are definitely not of the Llano Estacado country, but were taken in the Big Bend region near Presidio. The creosote bush (greasewood) that is the main plant in most of the photos and the ocotillo are the clues that the setting is the Chihuahuan Desert.

Thanks Kent. I saw where Monte was from Abilene, so he's a long way from home right now.

I was at a decent spot, nice and quiet, and didn't see anything, but I was on the Texas Mexico border. The last time I was on the border, closer to El Paso, we constantly found trash and signs of people who did not belong on the land. Some of those signs were the discarded pieces of the backpacks they used to move drugs north... Not folks you want to wander upon when no one really knows where you are.
