I love driving on Rimrock Drive in the Monument. You never know what you’ll see. Today Steve spotted these amigos first. They were on his side of the vehicle as we were driving down from the visitor’s center.

Kilroy was here! He’s peeking over the rocks at me. Boy have those horns have seen some action.

I’m hearing Lionel Richie singing, “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?”

Hello, is it me you're looking for???
Hello, is it me you’re looking for???

Such a handsome fellow.

This one I call Ol’ Man River. Like the changes in the course of a river, this old fellow has so many striations and stresses in his horns. They certainly show a lifetime of combat and struggle. At one time, I imagine they were quite full like the younger, Handsome fella’s horns.
