In the Morning we take the road up to the hights, where we run into the CDT and here it is pleasant to walk in the shade of the big pine trees. The gates are all open and there is even Water at a well.
As we go on, the cattle drafts are all empty and even the tanks (künstliche Weiher) are all dry. After another 30 km without water, and having checked out several tanks, we realize there is a problem at hand. We take a break and let the horses feed, hoping to get to another well about 15 km down the trail. We just hit the road again following it north when a pick up appears and we stopping him. We inquire if he knew where to find water. As it turns out, he was hired to inspect all the water sources to the north, and he told us, that the next 35 mls was no chance of water, as far as registered Tanks or springs where concerned. American Tank and Antelope Tank, where the last two on his program, before returning to Grants and Albequerque, so we had to make a quick decision about what to do.
It was decided that I would drive back to Grants organize a trailer and Water for the next day and
we would have to return to Grants. At 10pm I arrived with the watermen at Grants and checked in at the local lodge.
