Our backyard butts up against about a 100 zillion acres of nothing. It is a mixture of private and
BLM property. It isn’t used for anything, just sits there, open and wild and is a great play ground for my children.
I usually won’t let them go up there in the summertime, there are rattlers in them there hills and I am a nervous Mama, however, spring and fall are play time!
This spring my two oldest have been rushing through their school work so they can run up the hill. They are making an “Indian Encampment”.
There are beds, places to store food, cook stove and a fire place.
It is all totally decked out.
My oldest daughter told me not too long ago “Now we have a place to go if we ever need to head for the hills!”
I think she has been listening to
Dadzoo’s and my crazy right-wing nuttiness for too long.
