I was driving up to Ruby Lake National Wildlife
Refuge in Nevada when I came across these Horses.
It was an exceptionally hot day and I was driving
on a dirt road; the heat and the constant din and
vibration of the road were slowly putting me to
sleep. At one point, I numbly looked to my right
and saw all of these horses running around. Being
mostly brain-dead at the moment, it took me nearly
a minute to realize that I was near a National
Wildlife Refuge, that there were no fences, and
that these were the famous wild-horses known to run
freely on public lands in Nevada. The one mare,
obviously the leader of this clan, danced and
pranced them around, putting on a show of their
beauty and strength. It was like I was watching a
trained group at a rodeo or circus. Instead, I was
sitting on the top on my civic, by myself, in a
parched desert at noon.
