annewandering Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 The only thing I dont like in those pictures is that I cant get up to them and run around like I did as a kid. Was so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sister_in_faith Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I grew up in the mountains, then moved to the flat part of the world for college. The first time my honey took me back up into the mountains to go fishing (this was several years ago) I went running off into the woods, with him yelling behind me, "watch out for bears!". Totally ruined my frolic. Jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirkwood Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm disappointed that the Ruby Mountains were left out. My favorite range by far. We used to have a cabin in Thomas Canyon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annewandering Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Great view! Wish I were in good enough shape to climb them now. When I was little we used to climb them all day every day. People used to ask my mom if she didnt worry about us but she said she knew we would be home for lunch and supper. :) We always were.

sister_in_faith Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 lol. in this part of the country its looking at every sage brush wondering if there is a rattlesnake wound around its base trunk.Oh my gosh, this summer Sophie jumped over a rattlesnake TWICE and didn't even notice it. She was on a trail thru tall grass by the river. We think she thought it was just a rock. My honey was behind her and almost stepped on the thing before he realized what it was. When he realized what it was, he was trying to get Sophie to come back to him, but off the trail, and she just came running back to him and jumped over the now coiled up snake for the second time.We call her the little snake charmer now. Whew we were lucky on that one because the drive to the nearest vet would have been over an hour away. We thought about getting her the vaccine, but we haven't heard if it works very well or not. Anyone ever gotten their dog the rattlesnake vaccine before? Does it work? Did the dog react okay to the vaccine? (sorry to hijack ur thread anne... just came to mind when I read your post...)

(sorry to hijack ur thread anne... just came to mind when I read your post...)np at all. I havent heard about that vaccine but it would be worth looking into especially with a bouncy pup! I had it happen to me too. I was out walking carrying my oldest daughter with me. She was maybe 6 months old. We went past some very tall sagebrush when I heard the rattle and looked back. A huge snake was coiled around the brush we were just passing. I nearly died of a heart attacki!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
