Border Collies are the perfect animal for this. They were bred to do that job, and they're good at it!

The little ones look like Heelers or Aussie Cattle Dogs. They both can also do the job.

They sure are, and they seem to just know their job and go ahead and do it. They were getting no instruction whatsoever. As we first pulled up, the herd was starting through the tunnel and the riders were just sitting in the saddle. As long as they sat there, the dogs were laying at the horses feet. Cattleguards kept the stock from going anywhere else but through the tunnel. As soon as the riders took a step, the dogs lept to their feet and started pushing the stragglers.

That guy in the sombrero is a deputy sherriff. We were not quite sure why he was there. Was he called for the event? Or did he just happen on the scene? Nobody was going anywhere until the sheep were across anyway, so I didn't quite understand the need for him to be there.

The sheep just went under the highway and through a ranch gate on the other side. Just swapping pasture I guess. They were not loading them up, at least not while we were there.

finished installing my Ultra-trac track bar on my Motorhome, needed to request a different frame bracket as my frame didn't have 2 holes for the bolt on bracket that all frames were supposed to have, the new bracket just clamp around the frame rail no drilling required. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet.

Is that designed to minimize body roll?

It's designed to keep the rear end of the coach from moving side to side, they call it tail wagging the dog. I can feel it in a cross wind and when rigs pass. Tail Wagging the Dog: Typically caused by excessive lateral motion of the rear axle. predominantly on coaches with Leaf Springs.

Made it to Yreka tonight around 1930. Lotta' miles behind us, all at around 55mph. Rolling average was just over 55, with an overall average of over 51. Total stopped time for the whole day was only 42 minutes, which included two pit-stops and one refueling stop. Yes, we did press on slowly (but legally)!

Meeting at Mark's (MillerOutdoors) shop tomorrow afternoon for a barbecue with the Central Oregon guys. Clay may or may not be there, but if he isn't, we'll catch him on the southbound trip a week from now.

On the road again at around 0700, with around 250 miles to go.

That's a long day.

Say hello to the Oregon crew for me.
