For an extremely modest fee, Jill, I'd be glad to help arrange your purchase of this prime piece of (verifiably alive) rambling range.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to simply give something quite so precious away. I'm sure you understand.

The good news, however, is that I accept PayPal.


My Hubby and I will take you up on that when we are ready to retire!

Retired CPO Loc: Travel full time in an RV

It might be that you've been too long sequestered in that RV of yours, or been nibbled on one too many times by those Floriduh 'gators who seem to favor you, Chief, but it might've made you forget how completely untrodden upon Ootah's antelope actually are. If anything, they tend to be more the trod-ers than the trod-ees here in sunny southern Ootah. Out there --out where the deer and the antelope play (poker, mostly, but occasionally board games or shuffleboard), and where the cows dance their bumbling bovine bolero and moo madly at the moon--, if anybody's trodden upon, its the Prairie Dogs.

Not so sure about any porkers out there, though. At least I didn't smell any. And as regards what reading/writing skills the 'lopes may or may not possess, I'd bet a good many are perfectly capable of reading at a higher level than that attained by many of Ootah's drooling, shoeless human spawn (and a sizeable number of their so-called 'human' parents, too).

But I digress. Will no one consider the plight of the poor Prairie Dogs???

Your photos are always a delight to wander through. We’ve only been to the Archs and Moab area once and were blown away with it. Unfortunately, I was sicker than the proverbial dog from food poisoning so didn’t enjoy as much as I could have. So, I really envy you being in the area so much.
Question - are the two pronghorns in the rear wearing red bands around their necks? Locators I assume.

The neck bands you noticed are indeed GPS sending units, and provide a means for land managers (the BLM) to track and monitor the herds. Ten/fifteen years ago I'd never see antelope in that area --the BLM administered Canyon Rims Recreation Area-- which seemed strange since its perfect antelope habitat. The herds and more especially their ranges seem to be on the increase throughout the region.

Around the corner and up the road, a resident put a makeshift hand-painted 'deer crossing' sign up on the edge of his property. Down that edge-of-town road, deer are far more plentiful than people, and besides, to use the word 'traffic' makes the place sound like it actually receives any, which it pretty much doesn't (apart from the plentiful deer and the handful of residents).

A few miles further out of town, no signs caution the unwary about pronghorn crossings. Maybe its because there are so few motorists. And besides, the antelope are already plenty wary.

Nice shot. What are the red bands on the necks--haven’t seen anything like that before.

As always, it's a lovely image. And the antelope are so very much a part of the scene.

Beautiful panoramic shots of the mountains with the added pronghorns in the foreground this shot is definitely a keeper.
