Those Aren't Deer

We took a trip to the casino near Parker AZ this afternoon.  Had a little luck, but nothing worth talking about.  On the way home we took the following pictures.  The title of this blog relates to what Pat thought she saw on the way to the casino.

This is a mountain along the highway on the way home.  It has an American flag up on top.  If you look closely, you can see it.  I don't know how they get up there as this mountain is just about the same on the other side like the side we can see here.  The flag is in good condition and must get changed once in awhile.  See the next picture for a close up.

Here is the close up of the flag on top of the mountain.

This is an RV park on the other side of the highway from the mountain with the flag seen above.  You can see the second level of the park over on the right side of the picture.  It looked like the park was pretty much full.

Now we get to the "deer".  Pat thought she saw a bunch of deer as we went by this area on the way to the casino.  We didn't stop then to check them out and she could only see them for a couple seconds.  Turns out it was a herd of wild Donkeys that were roaming around the RV park that sits next to the Colorado river, which you can see in the foreground.  These Donkeys can be found all around the state and you have to watch for them crossing the highway.  They are descendants from the Donkeys used by miners and released to make it on their own way back when.  

That's the story.
