Dustin, Estefan, Jack, Stan, Justin, Cody... and lots of other boys went to Gold Butte last Saturday. It so beautiful out there this time of year. There are wild flowers everywhere, the cactuses are blooming, and the sage is bright purple.
Estefan and Dustin shooting the bull (frogs) at Pakoon. There used to be an alligator in this pond. When they drained it a few years ago they found it and caught it. The alligator was named Clem!
The Nelson Boys! Jack, Dus and Estefan
My little model. I love this picture. Jack is a great photographer. It was taken at the Tassi Ranch. I love that you can see the old farm house in the background between the fence posts. 
Why did the turtle cross the road? To get some chips from Estefan. The boys found this Desert tortise crossing the road. They stopped to let Estefan check it out. He sat and stared at it for a long time. Turtles aren't very fast and he watched it walk away until it was out of sight!
This is an old Spanish Mine in the middle of no where. You have to follow all these clues to find it. Its very cool. The inside is lined with wood planks. Last time we were there, like three years ago. A cow had fallen in it and was dead at the bottom. It wasn't there this time. I guess something was really hungry to crawl down and eat it. I guess it could've been a vulture- that would be more logical.Anyway we had a fun weekend. When the boys got home we went to Kyle and Jessica Leavitt's for a fun BBQ. All our high school friends were there. Its always fun to talk about the old days. Most of us have kids and our converations are usually about them - crazy we're all grown up!!! :)
