Giddy up!

We stayed put in Furnace Creek today and so we all jumped on horses this afternoon and headed out into the desert for an hour's ride.

None of the horses were anywhere near the pedigree of Tinkerbell (they'd certainly never been anywhere near a chiropractor!) ... in fact mine and Mark's were fine strong mules.

The horses have been around the route so many times that they've worn a very dusty channel at least eight inches deep across the desert! Even our eyelashes were covered in dust.

Yin was quite the horse whisperer gaining a close bond with the animal who responded to her every command by attempting to grab a snack from passing bushes at every opportunity.
