Imagine this: riding quietly in a mule drawn covered wagon rides over 3 miles of rustic and wild plant-life.

You stop for a bit, step down, wipe your brow and take in the view: a group of longhorns beside a bundle of hackberry trees.

Over there to the left, a few birds are perched on the back of a buffalo.

White tail dear are huddled next to rare granjeno trees.

You take out your camera and snap one-of-a-kind photos of all that surrounds you.
