I jumped to conclusions since there's a migrating herd of pronghorn, just south of there that I see on my way to work. <BR/><BR/>As for the mountains, the Sierras are behind the deer crossing the road, and to the east of the valley and behind the ranch photos are the Fort Sage Mountains. The peak in the background is Tule Peak at 8,724 feet. There's a monument on top of it to the Olds Homestead, if you can climb that high!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-49088313854978383482009-02-21T07:34:00.000-08:002009-02-21T07:34:00.000-08:00Looks like you had a nice adventureI love that dri...Looks like you had a nice adventureI love that drive.
