Traveling to Wyoming

Our second day was spent outside of Reno near the Washoe Lake State Park.  Our horses shared a nice corral at the Rugged R Ranch.

We rode right off the ranch to the sand dunes by the lake.  In the background, you can see parasailors on the lake.  Oberon loved the dunes, especially running up and down the steep hillsides.  Laertes was a little less happy since he has shorter legs.  It was a wonderful ride, though.

 On the way to our next stop outside of Fallon, Nevada, we say a sign for a tiger habitat.  This was really just one guy and his girlfriend who were keeping six full six tigers in large cages in their backyard.  In Nevada, anyone can own wild animals with the proper permits.

Tiger Pete went into each cage and cuddled the tigers so we could see what a great relationship he had with them.

He was nice enough to take my camera and get some pictures for us so we could have some up close and personal pictures of the tigers.

Ari was very happy to get to meet the tigers.  They all looked well taken care of and seemed happy.

Pete is not the best with a camera or video

I handed him the camera to take a video of the tigers and so there are some periods where he took video of the ground and the gate.

Silver Sage Ranch

After our stop at the tigers, we put our horses up at the Silver Sage Ranch outside of Fallon, Nevada.

The weather was a bit overcast and there were some sprinkles, so I am not sure if we are going to be able to ride.  Tomorrow, we travel to Elko, Nevada.
