A Helping Hand

This afternoon Noah and I went to the Scenic Overlook at the west end of town to do some hiking. We were almost to the top when we saw a woman walking down. She put up her hand for us to stop and said she had locked her keys in her vehicle and asked if we had a phone she could use. She had AAA so she called them on my cell phone. They said they'd be there in about an hour. She was really glad we showed up so she wouldn't have to walk all the way to town for help. We drove to the top and I talked with her until help arrived. She was on her way through from Maryland to Oregon where she was moving to. It was a neat experience that we went up there when we did. It's a pretty remote place (kind of like most places out here)! Noah did a little exploring while we were there and saw things dumped up there...a tv, vcr. etc. Pretty sad that people can't respect the land. We also saw a lot of animal carcasses on the side of the road on our drive last night. Noah checked it out and they'd been shot and dumped. Lots of different animals, antelope, wolves, buffalo. Another dumping place in the midst of beautiful landscape. BTW, the views at both of these places is simply BREATHTAKING!!! The mountains and the red rocks...Gorgeous!
