Flying Southwest

This is FM 2017 in Culberson County,Texas. One of my home bases is there–The Lost Lariat Ranch.

The area is unique mix of old time cowboy life and escapees from the city ! It is still open range which means cattle, horses and donkeys,etc. roam freely!!

It is a great life on the Lost Highway✌️

Things You Find in the Desert.

In the Chihuahuan Desert the usual things you suspect out there…are here!

Occasionally,there are surprises

🌵

Have you ever seen a vulture skull?

Me either,till my dog brought me this!! To my horror I thought it was a baby cattle skull, born with no eyes,!!

A more experienced desert rat calmed my nerves and gently explained what it really was..lol!!

This is a fixer upper long abandoned .
Not sure what this is but,it curled up and played dead when I approached.
Oasis in the deserts really do exist!! This one is gorgeous…you have to fight with the cattle for shade..lol!! Not really,but they do give you looks!
A handmade trough wall dated 1938
An Ink Top mushroom,! They only live for about 24 hours! They are called ink top because should you touch one,it instantly dissolved into a Black liquid.

Thank you for stopping by.. see ya again soon,. BettyShea
