We went in search of a few more ranches today. After we turned off on the dirt road and had gone just a bit, my partner announced to me what road we were on. I told her that I hoped that wasn't the road we were on because if it is, we were 30 miles off course. She gets a bit confused. Once again We made it to our destination and home again. It was quite interesting today because they gave us a description of where the ranch was located and also the block number. (The block number tells us what area we are to be in.) Well the block number did not match up with the description. It was off by maybe 30 miles and 2 mountain ranges. It would involve a totally different route from Elko. Makes for an interesting day.
A requisite for ranches is to have several dogs; usually border collies. One of the houses we visited today had half a dozen sheep on it's front porch. They were a little "put out" when we disturbed their rest. One of them left a nice deposit by my feet as it walked off. I have attempted to interview dogs and now sheep, but they are reluctant to give much info. Sage brush will be one of my next attempts.
We go out again Friday and then I hope to be done. I'll try to come up with a good story or two to end with.

I'm a little jealous! I have Friday off, but I get to work Saturday and Monday and part if not all of next week...
