One of our last "adventures" in the Big Horn Mountains (and what an adventure it was) was taking a trip to the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Canyon. There were 9 of us...Glenda & Ray Roe, our "new" friend, Tom, his friends (and some more "new" friends of ours), Carol & Dick, and friends of theirs, MaryEllen & Larry, of course, Don and I were there as well! We also had Spencer, Tasha and Tess along as well!We should of had a clue when we stopped at the visitor's center and the first thing the girl asked was "do you have four-wheel drive"? Of
course, she assured us that it wasn't needed, you just needed "high-clearance" in a few areas! Or maybe we should of had a clue when she told us it would take us all day! Or how about when she called one way the adventurous route and the other the MORE adventurous route! What? But no, we didn't question it, just headed out and up! The first few miles weren't too bad...but let's just say that it took us about 6 hours and we only traveled about 50 miles! We stopped once for a potty break, once for lunch and before both of those...we stopped to fix Tom's flat tire! Oh yeah, I guess we stopped for a Kodak moment for the few times we saw the wild horses! In all, 
Ithink we saw about 20 horses...one of them was just a colt! Too cute! They didn't look too bad (I thought they might look kind of shaggy) for being wild horses!
We all thought that we should have probably turned around a long time "ago", but we didn't! It was a darn good thing that we did see the horses. This is one adventure that we will probably laugh about later down the road!

Can't wait to hear all your Big Horn stories around the campfire as am sure some things are not fit to be published. As have to work Sat, the trip down to the Moose campground is a bit far for just one night.
