We are camping at Camp Richardson, that

Heading to Reno
Coming down the mountain to Carson Valley
Signs stating "Caution-Wild Horses"
"Naw, wild horses-- this is suburbia-
houses, cars, shopping centers"
There's nothing to eat up here for them Buzz...
They will be there>>>
And there they were--munching the plants around a house
SEE...WILD HORSES
Driving to downtown Reno

A very clean town; but' it sure isn't Vegas-
Back at Lake Tahoe-a long day
