Up early finished packing. We all walked down to breakfast. All of us except Alan went on a wonderful three hour hike up to Crazy Horses Canyon. Alan stayed at the lodge going through our itinerary. Was very hot and sunny fabulous views and scenery. When we got to the top we paddled in the freezing crystal clear mountain stream it was wonderful. A fellow hiker showed me how you can dip your hat in the water squeeze it out and put it back on your head so refreshing (not so good for your hair but hey who cares it was so cooling). Claire and John saw a snake and we all saw a bush full of buzzing bees. Back at the ranch Claire and I went for a swim and sunbath. We all met up for lunch. Nick went fishing, John went mountain biking, June played tennis with Darrel the professional, and Claire,Alan and I went to the lounge to write postcards. Later on Claire and I went painting with Chad so relaxing. We all went down to the horse pens and watched the stampeding horses galloping down to their feed a magnificent sight especially as there was the most awesome sunset. To finish the day we went to a barbecue at the cotton woods before meeting up with Geoff for our journey to our Tucson hotel home for the next 5 days.

Dave T Woke up this morning to a blue sky, got so excited as I was going to mow the lawn for the first time this year, dashed down to the shed and got the mower out, tittering neighbors over the fence, dashed back to the bedroom as I had forgotten to get dressed in my excitement, mowed the lawn and decided to BBQ the breakfast, fitted some old bike wheels to the BBQ to make it look like a chuck wagon, put the cacti out on the lawn to make it look like a prairie, quite pleased with it all, put my trilby on and got my bike out, it’s called bluey, it’s black actually but I really wanted a blue one, anyway, I rode round the circle a few times with Penny running behind, then in through the gate and a few tuns round the lawn, Penny was tailgating me and I got a bit unnerved, almost fell off onto a cactus, pulled up by the chuck wagon and cooked breakfast, cornflake waffles and spam, Penny wouldn’t have any, stuck to her boring old toast and plain yogurt and wouldn’t even sit outside with me, went and played tennis on my own against the back wall, I won, tonight I’m going to get my guitar and light a fire on the patio and sing cowboy songs to myself, well there’s not much on the tely. (Wish I was over there really with all you proper cowboys an girls.
