Notes: Took Robyn on a ride out N. Eagle eye to see the petroglyphs.
It's a bit of a hike up to the petroglyphs from where we tied up. It's always a good feeling when your horse is still there when you get back.

Rockwells are down setting up their new place in Salome. Another Idaho conversion to the winter wonderland that is Arizona. They wanted me to take them to see the Wickenburg Massacre site...so that is what I did.

Notes: Lou Ann stopped by for a couple of days on her way back from a cat grooming certification in Yuma. (Yeah...me either! ;)) They do indeed hold certifications for cat grooming. If/when she passes, she will be a Master Cat Groomer!
We spent one day on horseback. She rode Jack and I rode Drifter. I took her to the sheep ruins. The next day, we went Jeep'in.
Lou is my very first, and so far only, visitor to El Rancho Gitana Del Desierto. It was great seeing her.

Notes: Dan wanted to get Bulls out and lope him. I hauled us to Tiger Wash and we did just that. I missed the turn on to my road on the way home so we drove in to Salome and had dinner. We sat with a couple of guys that ended up knowing just about everyone we know down here. I swear - Arizona is the friendliest place...maybe it's just the folks that winter down here. Who wouldn't be happy to be out of the cold and snow.
Notes: Celia was told of a spot toward the foothills we wanted to try and find. She doesn't think we found it - but it was a really cool area, regardless. We rode through Ruby Pass to the N. side of the Sleeping Giant and ate lunch next to a big rock formation. There is a lot of vegetation in this area including large Joshua trees. We tied up and hiked around for a bit. On the way back, we dropped down into a wash to check out what appears to be an old mine. It has a concrete trough thing and some old RR ties and wire fencing around. I supposed it could have been a watering tank. Hard telling. We plan on going back in my jeep to cover more ground and see if we can find the "cool spot" Mundo told her about.

Notes: Dan's family (mom and daughter) were up visiting for a few days. His daughter wanted to get in a quick ride before they headed back. I took them out the back gate for a quick ride on state land.

| The Wise Woman looking over Ruby Pass |
Notes: Quick ride up N. Eagle. Celia ponied the filly, Smoothie. She did great.
The cool rock seen in the above photo looks like an apes head from this angle - but morphs into a shrunken head of an old wise woman from the face. Sometimes it looks like a shark rising out of the water to take a hunk out of an unsuspecting surfer....but since this is the desert and we later discovered this is "Ruby Pass" - I'm dubbing her: Ruby - The Wise Woman of the Desert
