Cruising along, I noticed the wildlife was out everywhere, enjoying the fine spring weather. Horned toads are common in the southwest - I saw this little guy and he was cool enough to pose on my thumb!
Down the trail a little farther, and I saw another critter, not sure what it was. A baby skunk? Badger? Venomous duck? Not to worry, it seemed pretty harmless.
Reached the turnaround point and stopped to munch some trail mix. What's this? A mouse? And he's hungry! I shared a sunflower seed with him.
This was getting a little weird. Oh well, gotta finish this ride. I picked up the pace a bit, then slammed on the brakes when I spotted another critter. I didn't think anything like this lived around here...
I was starting to get a wee bit creeped out. But the ride was over. Next time I'll have to do a BIG ride.
Thanks for looking.
