Cattle Drive per Sophia's Request




On the first day of our journey, a cattle ranger was trying to get his cows across the road. He very thoughtfully waived us by, before beginning to move his herd. Well, Miss Sophia Jo, was quite disappointed and really had hoped she could see the cattle crossing the road.

As luck would have it, a day later we stumbled across another farmer who was herding his cows. Now I am not sure where the cows were going to, because they headed across the road, then some would come back over again, and some even headed straight down the road next to us. Obviously, these cows were still learning how to properly and safely cross the roadway. I think this why they kept going back and forth! It was so nice of the farmer to let us drive next to the cows, and gently encourage them on their way. Sophia was thrilled and considered this her lucky day!

I don't know if our driver Jesse felt the same way....

What a wonderful off the main road excursion...a waterfall, great scenery, a gigantic landslide AND a needed bathroom. Life simply does not get any better. I do hope that everyone thanked the Lovely Lily for being so thoughtfully needy!

I cannot imagine a more perfect day than one where you go through a cattle drive and see a rainbow and get to help move the cows along. Sophia Jo, this was indeed a fine day! p.s. Who had to wash the bottom of the car?
