Trail Boss

The Boss is back. 
This was our first ride with Boss and Coco.  They got along fine. 
We rode up an Indian Canyon trail for some excellent mountain views.
On a windy, rocky ridgetop, we stopped at a small grove of Great Basin bristlecone pines. 
If you enlarge, you can see the bristles on the cones that give the tree its name:
Bristlecone pines grow very slowly and can live over 4000 years. 
We'll be gone the rest of this week. With luck, we'll have some fun adventures to share when we return.
