• Trail: Wickenburg Stagecoach Massacre Site
• Miles: 7.83
• Riders: Self - Jim H. 
• Horses: Drifter - Rowdy
• Dogs: None

Notes: Jim spends most of his time giving lessons and clinics and hasn't explored much beyond where he spends winters outside of Congress. I took him to the Wickenburg Stagecoach massacre site. I have been there several times but I've never gotten to it the same way twice. I left my GPS at home to see if I could find it without it. I figured if I got us lost I could tell him anything and he wouldn't know: "See that pile of  rocks right there..that's where they buried one of the bodies. Cool, huh?"

• Trail: Wickenburg Massacre Site
• Miles: 8
• Riders: Self - Celia - Harold - Dan - Robyn
• Horses: Drifter - Dirt - Jack - Bullseye - Reba
• Dogs: Groot - Boo

Notes: Took Dan and Robyn to check out the Wickenburg Massacre Site. Harold rode Jack so both my horses got some exercise. I didn't pack Jack's boots and part of it is a little rocky but he did great. You can keep to the sandy wash if you want. On the way back, Celia and I ran up the wash about a mile. That's as far as I've ran Drifter. He did good other than when he got tired, he tried to dash out of the wash and clothesline me on a low hanging branch. I was trying to video our run and wasn't paying a lot of attention where we were going. Fortunately, he did not succeed. 

Celia and I had a shoot the next day. Drifter did really well but I could tell he was tired. I missed a balloon on the last stage taking me out of the money. It was a course with a hard right turn and I wasn't expecting Drifter to make the turn that well. Time to trust my horse!
