Description
Truck on Rough Road was inspired by a trip I made to the Pryor Mountains (Montana USA) in hopes of photographing some Pryor Mountain Mustangs. During five hours, I only saw three, and decided to head back to the highway and go home (4.5 hours away). The road, complete with ID sign, was more of an old stream bed, and my truck, while a competent 4WD had a 15' wheel base. I crept along, certain the truck was going to fall apart as I eased over boulders and down sloping, steep curves. A tire was finally put out commission by a sharp rock. I thought I'd have to spend the night up there (no cell connection). But I wasn't stranded! A couple I had spoken with several times during my wanderings (and theirs) came along in their ATV and graciously packed me, my camera equipment and overnight bag down the mountain to a friendly town. It was 2 days before I could get the tire changed out and retrieve my truck. Driving the rest of the way down the mountain was scary and left me a bit shaky. This painting is how I remember it. Here's a tip: If you go looking for the mustangs, start in Lovell, Wyoming and hire one of the guides; they know where the horses hang out and have tough vehicles to tackle the mountain's non-road roads. :)
