Riding on a cloudy day

Chilly, cloudy and fog has been the forecast this Thanksgiving weekend. While the temperatures were really not that cold, it was hard to peel away from a crackling fire. We made up our minds to get out on the horses early this morning and just dress for it. Well, we didn't leave until late morning, but so glad we did. We rode out in the Kane Creek area below Hurrah Pass, where approximately a year ago Sunnie and I went out Plein Air Painting. Here is the painting that resulted, it was done on a chilly, rainy day, with fast moving clouds. Today we followed a herd of cows in, Red Rock Ranches from Bedrock, Colorado was pushing a few hundred head into their winter range. We rode Lightning and Thunder, 4 years old and 3 years old respectively. Thunder wanted to give Stan a rodeo, and we bogged down in some mucky muck in the creek bottom, but made it out safe. Lightning got a lesson in moving through some narrow openings created by BLM campground construction. I think he was afraid they were electric fences, or maybe he was just buffalo-ing me, but we made several passes through. All in all a great ride.
