Sunrise and an early morning ride

Bridget didn't want to get up so we sat and watched the sunrise, then went for an early morning bike ride. We saw a jackrabbit, very large toad, desert rats, lizards, and tracks....some looked like mule deer and others looked like coyote. There are also wild hogs, gray fox and bobcats living in and around the dunes which stretch for miles beyond the park. The rain yesterday brought the animals out. Many tracks led to puddles that were left from the storm. It also made the sand cool, wet and firm, and much easier to walk on!! Bridget wore herself out climbing the dunes and running, rolling and sliding down. Probably why she couldn't get up at dawn :)))
