It is 200+ miles down there on a road to He'll - Not a day trip.  We'd go in for a week+

Saline Valley is just one valley west of Death Valley - Hot as HE"LL most of the year so we'd go in the winter.

Wild Horses will normally stay out at the end of your rope and fight. :!:

Bucky (red shirt with vest) was the CCA Calf Ropin Champion (CCA= California Cowboy Assocition)

As a Calf Roper he would set his loop on a burro - go down the line - flip and Hog-Tie (2 or 3) burro's in one bunch.

My first catch I watched Bucky and thought "H-e-l-l I can do that :!:     

We spotted Burro's off about a mile - unloaded our horses and off we'd go - 3 miles latter we caught up to them - I went after this one Jenny that was headed up hill - Soon she was winded but so was my horse and there we stood looking at each other just out of rope range.

I ergedon my horse on - reaching out I caught Jenny #1 - being tied "Hard-N-Fast" I bailed off and headed down my line - About this time Jenny #1 laid her ears back, Baired Her Teeth, and headed up the line after me - thinking that this was NO Places for this "Want-to-Be" I turned to my horse - The trouble was that she had the same Idea - There I was both hands on my rope and my horse pulling me down the hill and a rampaging Burro trying to eat my @$$

Down the hill about the length of a football field my horse turned and started working the rope  :cboy: style - I Caught-Up-and-On then turned to see Bucky sitting on a Hog-Tied jenny spliting-a-gut laughing.

Well I guess ya know that stories made the rounds :!:
