There were so many moms and their babies and older siblings. They were all so sweet and beautiful and curious as can be about us, but it seemed like every face just screamed out to you....."help us" , it was heartbreaking.
The gentleman we talked to at the BLM turned out to be one of the higher positions in the BML and he politely answered our questions even though at times you could tell it made him uncomfortable, but he did his job well.
We talked about our own wild burro and we received his personal email so we could email him any info we had on Orly. For that we were very grateful and excited to find out the journey she had been on before she landed at the DSC.
After our visit there we went on the way to Ventura. Again we drove for hours through beautiful country side and just being in awe of the mountains and scenery. We passed hundreds of turbines on the way and the ocean couldn't be far off. By nightfall we arrived at Venture, settled into our room and went to bed shortly there after. The next morning we explored the promenade along the ocean....

And we had a nice picnic at this spot on the beach.....with bread, cheese, tomatoes and wine. ( psst..don't tell anybody).
It was an absolute beautiful day, well with one small interference but we won't mention this here.

I don't know if you read my story titled 10,000 Acres. It's about an old burro at the rescue here, who is wondering why, in all that huge desert, there cannot be 10,000 acres set aside for the burros to live in peace. It is the best thing I ever wrote because I felt their pain also. It is such a huge tragedy. I'm glad some of the burros from the rescue here have a better life in Texas. At least I hope they have, but then there's the dry weather, I hope they have grass. Anyway, which road did you drive? It sounds like you were very close to where I live. Ventura is not that far from here either. A couple of hours.
LOVED THE BEACH SQUIRREL
nice to be back too!
