8/30/18 Sheep and My Drive to Volunteering



These sheep live in the pasture next to my campsite. 

Most of the sheep have white bodies and black heads. Like this one, some of them have not finished shedding their winter coat.

There are 15 female and one male sheep in this herd. They are raised for their meat, not their wool. During the day, they are in the pasture next to my campsite, but at night they go into a pen so they are safe from predators.

This is the road from the campground to the visitor center. It is relatively straight and easy to drive. It takes me about  10 minutes to drive from my campsite to the visitor center.


The road passes through this beautiful meadow!

From the road, I can see the cliffs. Today, I met Rita. She is in charge of Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. She is really smart and knows a lot about the geology, biology and archeology of this area. I have a lot to learn!
