Wild burro quest

They roam BLM land all along the California side of this section of the Colorado.  We have heard them every evening from our camp at Buckskin Mountain State Park on the Arizona bank and even caught a glimpse or two as they move among the houses across the river.  Today we decided to drive 95 along the California side where signs repeatedly admonish drivers to be alert for wild burros on the highway.  We have seen them along here before but this afternoon our quest got off to a very slow start.

We were not to be disappointed though. We sighted at least 15 borros.  Some just ignored us and went about their business of noshing on watered lawns or tasty tree boughs.   Some watched curiously. burroComp_1066 Some even approached the car, with hopes for treats, I suppose.
