Camp Cody and Coyote Canyon

Wyatt and Michelle came over to Hidden Valley Ranch Sunday morning to take another desert ride before they left for Albuquerque.  

Just outside the gates of the ranch a mile or so is what is left of Camp Cody.

There is very little except for the lines of rocks which outlined different areas and the lanes through the camp.  There is also an old concrete stock trough, probably used to water the cavalry horses.

There's a high point which Wyatt and Michelle climbed.  Michelle found several partial skeletons of small animals so something lives in the rocks which hunts...

Monday we took a short ride to Coyote Canyon, a couple of miles from the ranch.  At this time of year, the good riding days are going to get scarce but this one was beautiful.   It was warm, sunny, and almost no wind, a rarity at this time of the year.

It may be several weeks before a new post...things are very quiet on the ranch now.
