A storm was forecast for today. We loaded up, stopped by a feed store for more hay and headed south. We drove through Las Vagas, across the hover dam and camped on some BLM land about 20 miles into AZ at about 3700'.

We had our best ride yet down a wash to Lake Mohave. The footing was good for the horses and the landscape was interesting. Lake Mohave is a reservoir on the Colorado River. It was surprisingly warm, the girls all went for a swim. It was 21 miles round trip, we didn't get off too early and, once again, returned after dark.

Another driving day. There were free range horses where we camped. Generally when we unload the horses they stay close to the trailer waiting for dinner. This evening they took off down the road and Denise had to run catch them.
 |
| A convenient and pretty camp albeit very close to the highway (there was a cattle guard). |

| This winter made possible by Flying J, our home away from home. |

Drove again, this time to the Picketpost trail head on the Arizona Trail. We once again made camp just as it was getting dark. Because the weather has been a little cool we have gone a little farther south than we had originally planned.
