DEAD HORSE STATE PARK UTAH
Visit here, if you get the chance.
From BING
Dead Horse State Park is a state park located in Utah, United States. The park is named after a plateau called Dead Horse Point which offers a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park 1. The park was publicly announced as a state park in 1959 and has since grown in popularity due to its Dead Horse Point vista 2.

According to legend, the park got its name in the late 1800s when cowboys used the plateau as a natural corral for wild mustangs. The plateau made for a natural corral, and a narrow 30-yard fenced stretch of land made the only escape. Cowboys corralled the wild mustangs through the narrow passage.

Then they would break them for their personal use, or sell them at market. After a roundup, a group of horses remained in the corral. Over the following days, they perished of thirst, with the Colorado River a 2,000 foot drop below them. The name “Dead Horse” was given to the area as a reminder of the tragedy that occurred there.

@jackdetate Now I know what a Hobson's choice is.. most of life
@gemswinc An early definition, that there is, in the end, for everything, no way to continue. Can make it a clue, that what is happening now, is everything life is about.

I had a similar conversation, yesterday, with a couple friends. As a poor disabled person, I’m all too aware that the governments of the world, (most anyway), would be a-ok if we didn’t exist.
