Gila River Canyon

The horse where fenced in at the river and had fresh tall Lucerne feed for the night. Their bells where singing all night and i had to walk through the river twice in my bath trunks at 6 in the morning to gather the fencing.. Refreshing, to bad you can not save to cold for later in the day. We had a good start at about 7.30 after having breakfast and saddled the horse. While on the trail we passed a set of rappids, and the trail took us over a small mountain cause we could not get through. At a given moment, Guairini decided to go by himself and after that i was missing my Spot Satelite, with which i had let everybody know, that we are well and alive. Kind of frustrated i walked on, not knowing where we lost ist. Fortuantely Water Kat,​a hiker from Anchorage came down the trail and we asked if she could look out for the Spot on and also inform my family that we wont have comunication for another 4 days.2 She promised and delivered, even found the Spot on, at the camp, where it must have  slipped out of the bag while packing.​Today we total 110 crossings bringing the numbers up to 245 Gila River Crossings in 3 days.​The trail is hard on the horses and they dont proceed at their normal speed, so the day grows on us.​We come to Trotter camp and on the ample field we fence the horses, put their bells on and start cooking​our evening meal. The horses dont need to be ground tied any more and the are happy to relax and eat​a s much as they can.
